Getting started

MapperTool turns your drone photos into ready-to-use mapping products in four steps: drop your images, choose your outputs, let processing run, then view and share the results — all in the browser, no desktop software.

There are two ways in, and both use the same engine. The anonymous quick path starts right on the landing page dropzone: drop your photos, pick outputs like an orthomosaic or elevation models, and processing starts without an account. The signed-in path gives you a dashboard where every project lives with its status, results and a retention countdown, plus sharing and collaboration.

You can also start anonymously and register later — your anonymous project is adopted into your dashboard, so nothing is lost. Before any processing starts, an automatic data check reads your images' EXIF data (GPS coverage, overlap, flight altitude, camera consistency) and flags problems while they are still cheap to fix.
