QCarta
Publish your QGIS projects to the web.
QGIS map portal and OGC web server.
Turn QGIS projects into secure, interactive web maps while keeping a QGIS-centered publishing workflow. Publish from the QCarta admin interface or the optional QGIS plugin.

From project to web map.
The QGIS plugin is optional. You can publish the same way from the QCarta admin interface.
Publish
Upload via the QCarta admin, the QGIS plugin, or project files.
Stores & layers
Create a QGIS or PostGIS store, then publish the layers you need.
Web map
Open the map in the portal and control who can see it.
A QGIS map portal.
QCarta is a publishing and portal application for QGIS projects — not a GIS stack installer.
QGIS Publishing
Upload a QGIS project with its raster, vector and static files, then choose the layers to publish.
Map Portal
Organize maps, dashboards, GeoStories, documents and links in one portal with search, topics and keywords.
QGIS Plugin
Optional. Configure a QCarta server from QGIS and publish or update projects without leaving the desktop.
Data Stores
QGIS stores for project files and PostGIS stores for local or remote databases, including files such as GeoPackages and shapefiles.
Permissions
Users and groups control access. Stores and layers use group-level permissions; people see only what they can view.
OGC Services
Publish WMS, WFS and WMTS, publicly or with authentication. MapProxy is used for layer caching.
Dashboards & Stories
Build dashboards with maps, charts and tables. Publish GeoStories, SQL reports, filters, Plotly charts, QGIS relations and SQL Workshop queries.
Editing & Print
Edit attributes and geometries on the map where enabled, and use QGIS print layouts from published projects.
QGIS-native
From QGIS to the web.
Keep the project in QGIS. QCarta publishes it as a web map.
Design layers, symbology and relations in QGIS, then publish through QCarta. The web map exposes the project with portal access, OGC services and the current web tools — it does not claim to reproduce every QGIS desktop feature.
- Build the project in QGIS
- Publish from the plugin or the QCarta admin
- Open it as a web map in the portal
- Manage access, caching and web functionality
QGIS plugin
Publish from QGIS when you want to.
The plugin is the desktop path. It is not required.
Install QCarta Console from the QGIS Plugin Repository, add your server, and publish or update a project. You can do the same work in the QCarta admin interface, including later edits to maps you published from QGIS.
- Configure one or more QCarta servers
- Publish a map from the current QGIS project
- Optionally create or update a store
More than a single map.
The portal groups published QGIS work into maps and the broader content types QCarta already supports.
Maps
Interactive web maps from published QGIS layers, with popups, legends and group-level access.
Dashboards
Combine maps, charts, tables and legends in a dashboard layout from the same project data.
GeoStories
Tell a spatial story by pairing maps with narrative content in a GeoStory.
Reports
Run SQL reports and filters against published data, including grouped report output.
