What is GeoJibe?¶
GeoJibe helps you move geospatial data from one place to another — and change it along the way when you need to.
Typical work looks like this:
- Convert a Shapefile to GeoPackage
- Change a coordinate system
- Rename a field
- Send a layer to PostGIS
- Publish data to GeoServer or GeoNode
- Keep a QFieldCloud or Mergin Maps project in sync with PostGIS
You do not have to learn GeoJibe's internals to do any of that.
The short version¶
A Source is where the data comes from — a file on your computer, a URL, an S3 object, or an ArcGIS FeatureServer layer.
Processing is optional. Convert a format, change the CRS, rename fields, or run a Python script. Skip it when the data is already how you want it.
A Destination is where the finished data goes — a download, PostGIS, S3, SFTP, GeoServer, or GeoNode.
You do not need a Job for a one-off¶
If you just want to convert a file once:
Build the workflow, click Run, and download the result.
Save a Job only when you want to run the same workflow again, put it on a schedule, or keep a field project synchronized.
Tip
Just converting a file once? You don't need to save a Job.
Who can do what¶
You can convert a file and download the result without signing in.
Sign in when you want to:
- Use the Canvas
- Send data to PostGIS, S3, SFTP, GeoServer, or GeoNode
- Save Sources, Destinations, or Jobs
- Run Python
- Sync QFieldCloud or Mergin Maps
Two ways to build a workflow¶
If you are signed in, GeoJibe opens the Canvas. Drag a Source, add any processing you need, choose a Destination, then Run.
The Classic wizard is the same kind of workflow as a step-by-step form. It is what you see when you are not signed in, and you can still switch to it from the Canvas.
Most people should start with the Canvas. See Using the Canvas.
