Georeferencer

To georeference an object means to assign it a precise location on Earth. Our Georeferencer tool provides a simple interface to do so, allowing you to visually assign location to your digital imagery like scanned maps, floor plans, or drone photos.

Georeferencer supports setting control points against a reference map to define the geographic location (latitude and longitude) and scale of your image. Once georeferenced, the file is automatically tiled into raster map tiles and hosted in your account, ready for use in any map or via API.

On-prem georeferencing

If you’re looking for an on-prem rather than cloud-based georeferencing solution, check out MapTiler Engine. It’s a powerful desktop alternative that allows you to process large amounts of data locally. It also provides advanced options like manual fine-tuning of coordinates and cutline, multi-image processing, transformation method selection, and customizable output formats.
