Getting Started

Getting Started with 2D Export

Nearmap MapBrowser makes it easy to export high-resolution aerial imagery for use in property management, land assessment or GIS software. This guide will get you up and running with 2D Export, whether you need a single image or a large area export.

What is 2D Export?

2D Export lets you download Nearmap’s vertical imagery from MapBrowser for offline use. You can:

Quickly save a single image for reports and presentations.
Export larger areas as tiled GeoTIFF, JPEG, or JPEG2000 files for GIS and CAD workflows

Note: Exporting imagery uses area-based credits from your Nearmap subscription. If you cancel an export while it’s processing, the credits will still be deducted.
