Mapillary Tools for Windows

Fast geolocated media uploader for Windows

Mapillary Tools is a Windows command-line utility that helps you publish geotagged photos and videos to the Mapillary platform. It’s built for contributors of street-level imagery and mapping projects who prefer a keyboard-driven workflow rather than a graphical app. The tool focuses on efficiency and batch processing, making it straightforward to add large sets of geolocated media to open mapping datasets.

How the command-line tool operates

• Accepts both image and video files that include GPS metadata or sidecar location files.
• Processes folders of media in a single run, reducing repetitive steps.
• Uses simple commands and options so uploads can be scripted or integrated into existing workflows.
• Runs on Windows and requires no graphical interface to manage uploads.

Reasons users choose Mapillary Tools

• Lightweight and scriptable, which is ideal for automated or repeated uploads.
• Designed to preserve and read geolocation and timestamp metadata accurately.
• Helpful for mapping teams and individual contributors who collect street-level imagery.
• Frees users from needing a separate GUI application while still handling large datasets reliably.

Suggested alternative (free)

DuckDB’s command-line interface is a free and open tool that some users adopt for processing and inspecting large datasets locally before uploading imagery elsewhere. While it’s not a direct uploader for Mapillary, it can be useful to prepare, filter, or analyze metadata (for example, GPS coordinates and timestamps) prior to using an uploader like Mapillary Tools.

Quick start tips

• Verify each file contains correct GPS and timestamp data before initiating a batch upload.
• Create small test runs to confirm settings and authentication are correct.
• Automate repetitive steps with scripts to save time on recurring tasks.
• Back up original media and metadata so you can reprocess if needed.
