Quick processing without an account
You do not need an account to try MapperTool. The dropzone on the landing page starts a real processing job: drop your drone photos, choose the outputs you want, and the job runs on MapperTool's render nodes exactly like any other project.
Here is what the quick path looks like:
- Drop your photos into the landing page dropzone.
- Automatic data check runs on the image EXIF data first — GPS coverage, overlap, flight altitude and camera consistency — and flags anything worth fixing before you start. See the quality report.
- Choose your outputs — for example an orthomosaic, elevation models or a 3D point cloud.
- Processing runs with live progress: you see your queue position, the current stage and elapsed time. You can leave the page — you'll be notified when it's done, and a failed job can be restarted without re-uploading.
- View the results in the browser with the built-in viewer, and download individual assets or the full bundle.
Anonymous projects are subject to the same image-count limits and retention rules as regular plans — see current plan details. If you decide to keep the project, just register: the anonymous project is adopted into your dashboard automatically. How that works is covered in Accounts and your first project.
