Monthly satellite basemaps for GIS and applications

Explore, compare and stream cloud-free imagery in Earth Online, QGIS, ArcGIS or your own application — without preparing satellite scenes yourself.
Explore Earth Online Use NIMBO in GIS

NIMBO transforms Copernicus Sentinel data into ready-to-use monthly basemaps. Instead of selecting scenes, masking clouds, building mosaics, harmonizing colors and hosting tiles, you can start directly with imagery that is consistent across dates and large territories.

Start with what you need to do

Section titled “Start with what you need to do”
Explore and compare imagery Search any location, select a month, switch layers and compare two dates in NIMBO Earth Online.
Use NIMBO in QGIS Install the NIMBO plugin, sign in and add the monthly basemaps available to your account without configuring service URLs manually.
Connect ArcGIS or another GIS Choose WMTS, WMS or TMS for ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online or another GIS and keep working with your own project layers.
Build a web map or application Review TMS integration for MapLibre or OpenLayers. Public or client-facing deployments require an appropriate production access model.

Choose the data you need

Section titled “Choose the data you need”
