I will digitize maps and create gis shapefiles from images or scans
GIS and Remote Sensing Analyst ,QGIS ,ArcGIS ,Google Earth Engine
About this Gig
I'll convert your scanned maps, images, or PDFs into clean, accurate GIS-ready shapefiles.
Whether you have a hand-drawn sketch, an old scanned topo sheet, satellite imagery, or a PDF map, I can digitize the features you need roads, boundaries, land parcels, water bodies, buildings, or any custom feature type into properly structured point, line, or polygon shapefiles.
What I deliver:
- Clean, topologically correct shapefiles (or GeoJSON/KML if preferred)
- Accurate attribute tables with your specified fields
- Correct coordinate reference system (CRS) for your project
- Optional final map layout for presentation
Tools I use: QGIS, ArcGIS, and Python (GDAL) for quality checks and automation on larger jobs.
Why work with me:
I bring a strong GIS and remote sensing background, so spatial accuracy isn't optional every feature is digitized with topology and coordinate precision in mind. I communicate clearly throughout, so you always know your project's status.

FAQ
What file formats can you accept as input?
JPG, PNG, PDF, TIFF, or existing GIS files (shapefile, KML, GeoJSON) that need editing or updating.
What formats do you deliver the final files in?
Shapefile (.shp) by default. I can also deliver GeoJSON, KML, or GeoPackage on request at no extra cost.
Do I need to provide a coordinate system (CRS)?
If you know it, great — otherwise, I'll identify the correct CRS based on your project location and requirements.
Can you handle jobs larger than the Premium package?
Yes, message me with your project details and I'll provide a custom quote for larger feature counts.
Do you check the accuracy of digitized features?
es, every shapefile goes through a topology and accuracy check before delivery to ensure clean, usable data.
What software do you use?
QGIS, ArcGIS, and Python (GDAL) depending on the project's complexity and automation needs.
