Which files you can deliver
Every accepted file can be downloaded with the required access. See supported formats
| Format | Extensions | On upload |
|---|---|---|
| GeoJSON | .geojson | Viewed as map layers. |
| DXF | .dxf | Viewed as map layers.ASCII DXF is drawn on the map. A binary DXF is kept as a file and not drawn. |
| KML/KMZ | .kml, .kmz | Viewed as map layers. |
| GeoPackage | .gpkg | Viewed as map layers.A table that names no coordinate system is not drawn, and a GeoPackage with no feature table is kept as a file. |
| Shapefile (zipped) | .zip holding the .shp, .dbf and .prj | Viewed as map layers.Send the set in one ZIP with nothing else in it: a lone .shp is kept and not drawn. It is drawn only with its .prj; the project’s coordinate system is never assumed. |
| GeoTIFF | .tif, .tiff | A single-band elevation raster builds terrain; any other raster gets a preview.Which treatment applies depends on the raster’s own bands, not its name. |
| LAS | .las, .laz | Viewed as a point cloud in the 3D view.A LAZ is read as it is. If its declared coordinate system differs from the project’s it is drawn from its own, with a note. |
| Photos | .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .heic, .webp | Kept with the project with a thumbnail, plus when and where it was taken. |
| Videos | .mp4, .mov | Kept with the project. Plays in the viewer with the browser’s own controls. |
| Kept with the project with a page-by-page preview. | ||
| ZIP | .zip | Kept with the project as the archive it is, unless it is a Shapefile. |
| Other files | .dwg, .e57, .csv, .txt and any other file | Kept with the project. Not drawn on the map. |
- File size limits depend on the plan: see Plan capacity.
- Programs, scripts, disk images, macro-enabled Office files and web pages are refused. A binary DXF or any other file is kept as it is, and not drawn.
Before you create an organisation
- Do we have to pay to start?
- No. Creating an organisation costs nothing and takes no payment details. We never save your card or set up automatic payments, so you are charged only when someone in your organisation chooses to pay.
- Do we need a code to create an organisation?
- Yes, during the beta: ask support for an access code. A referral code from another organisation goes in its own box and does not open sign-up. A code may also lend your organisation a plan for a period; your plan screen shows what it gave.
- Which survey files can we upload?
- Every file a survey firm uses is accepted, except programs, scripts, disk images, macro-enabled Office files and web pages. GeoJSON, ASCII DXF, KML, KMZ, GeoPackage and Shapefiles sent in a ZIP become map layers, and a delivery opens as those 2D layers. In your own project, and through a link, LAS and LAZ point clouds open in 3D. PDFs and photos are kept in a project with a preview; DWG drawings, other ZIP archives and every other file are kept as they are. A file reaches another organisation, or a link, only once its malware scan is clean. The table above sets out each format and what it supports.
- Who can review a delivery with us?
- Members of your organisation, at whatever role you give them on a branch or project. A survey can also be shared with another GISweaver organisation, which signs in to its own account to view it, or sent as an expiring link that opens without an account — on the plans that include sharing. A link can be ended at any time.
- What counts as an upload?
- One file. It counts in the month the upload is started, and a transfer that fails or is cancelled costs nothing at all. An upload in progress is counted while it runs, so you can have a few uploads running at once, but not an unlimited number.
- How do storage, uploads and file size interact?
- They are three separate tests. Each file must be at or under the maximum file size, or it is refused whatever else you hold. Each completed upload spends one of the month’s uploads, which resets on the first. And everything you hold counts towards total storage, which does not reset — it goes down when data is removed and up when you upload.
- Which payment methods can we use?
- Paid plans, once they open, are paid for online in US dollars.
- What happens when we reach a limit?
- Only the action that would exceed a limit is blocked. Monthly project and upload allowances reset each calendar month. For other limits, reduce the relevant usage where supported (archive a branch, withdraw a pending invitation), choose a smaller file, or change plan. Existing work stays accessible — nothing is ever deleted, hidden or degraded because a limit was reached.
- Is a refused action the same as a frozen organisation?
- No. A refusal declines one action against one limit and changes nothing else; the rest of the organisation works exactly as it did. A freeze is different: it follows a period that lapsed without payment, never happens without notice given in advance, and stops new work being created until the account is brought back. Sign-in, reading and export continue in both states.
- Can we change plan later?
- You can change plan from Billing. Your existing work stays accessible. New activity is checked against your plan’s limits. Plans billed in US dollars change when the paid period ends rather than part-way through it.
- What if we stop paying?
- Nothing renews by itself. If you do not renew, the full plan continues for a seven-day grace period after the paid period ends, then the organisation returns to the free plan. If you explicitly cancel in Billing, the plan runs until the end of the paid period and the organisation moves to the free plan on that day, without a grace week. Stopping never deletes your work: sign-in, read access and export of everything you hold continue.
- What happens to our data if we stop paying?
- Nothing is deleted. An organisation left dormant may later be frozen so that no new work is created, never without notice given in advance, and sign-in, read access and export continue throughout.
- What do our invoices carry?
- Paid plans, once they open, are invoiced in US dollars.
- Where is our data held?
- In India. Survey deliveries, organisation data and account records are stored and processed by AWS in Mumbai, with backups in Hyderabad, and are not transferred out of India to provide the service. A few operational services, such as outbound email and our mailboxes, work outside India; none carries survey data or spatial coordinates. They are described in our privacy policy (section 8.3).
- We are outside India — how are prices set?
- Paid plans outside India are offered to businesses with a verified tax ID, priced in US dollars excluding local taxes. Everyone can use the free plan in every country. The plans shown are those offered in your country.
Start with your organisation
Create an organisation and decide about a plan once your first delivery is in — nothing is charged until somebody in your organisation starts a payment.
