Qgis2web is a QGIS plugin that automates the generation of standalone interactive web maps using Leaflet, OpenLayers, or Mapbox GL. This plugin functions as an automated export tool designed to bridge the gap between complex GIS desktop environments and accessible web-based interfaces. It systematically parses current QGIS project layers, maintaining symbology, attribute tables, and configured popups to ensure visual consistency between the native GIS environment and the final web output. By providing a streamlined interface for configuring export settings, it eliminates the need for manual coding or external web development frameworks. The architecture supports multiple output libraries, allowing users to select the most appropriate mapping engine for their specific project requirements and technical constraints.

The download is an 8.5 MB file containing .ZIP files.

Users install the plugin directly through the QGIS internal manager. Once active, the tool appears as an export option within the software interface. Professionals select the desired layers, define the map extent, and choose between Leaflet, OpenLayers, or Mapbox GL as the rendering engine. The plugin then generates a complete directory containing the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, which can be hosted on any web server without requiring a dedicated backend database or complex server-side configuration.

Ideal for urban planners, environmental consultants, and cartographers, this tool is essential for sharing spatial analysis with stakeholders who lack GIS software. It is frequently employed in municipal infrastructure projects, public consultation displays, and site analysis presentations where interactive exploration of map data is required. By facilitating rapid web deployment of complex geographic datasets, it serves as a critical bridge in professional workflows, enabling the dissemination of project data across diverse digital platforms and browser-based environments in both corporate and academic settings.
