QGIS is extraordinary open-source desktop mapping software. It’s used widely across academia, research, and industry to investigate, visualise, and analyse geospatial data. But when it comes to sharing your work on the web, it falls short. Publishing a web map from QGIS means wrangling servers, wrestling with formats, and hoping your styling survives the journey.
The Cadence Connector QGIS Plugin changes that entirely.
With a single connection, you can upload files directly from QGIS into your Cadence projects and push your layers (with styling intact) to a live, interactive web map. Let the Cadence Connector do the handling for you.

Connect your workflow, not just your data: Cadence is built on the belief that great GIS tools should work together. The QGIS Plugin is part of a wider commitment to open standards and interoperability, so your existing desktop workflows feed seamlessly into a modern web platform.
Publish to the web without the pain: It’s hard to argue with the price-point of QGIS, but it’s very hard to share insights with your colleagues, clients, or to the public. The Cadence Plugin gives your QGIS work a front door; a polished, hosted web map that anyone can view, explore, and interact with – all without having to install any further software.
Your styling, preserved: Spend time crafting your symbology in QGIS and it won’t disappear on the way to the web. The Cadence Plugin can carry your layer styling across, so your web map looks the way you intended.
One platform, many sources: Whether you’re working in QGIS, uploading files directly, or connecting other systems, Cadence brings it all together in one place. Open-source, proprietary, or anything in between: if you have the data, Cadence can publish it.
