## Key capabilities
### Geospatial data management
- **Comprehensive vector and raster geodata storage**
Upload or create geospatial datasets and manage them as structured spatial databases via the web interface or REST API.
- **External PostGIS database connection**
Create vector layers backed by external PostGIS databases. Style them, publish them on Web Maps, and expose them via standard services.
- **Coordinate reference systems management**
Define custom CRS and use them consistently for measurement and data export.
---
### Web map and data publishing
- **Interactive Web Maps**
Create unlimited interactive Web Maps using the built-in map engine. Web Maps include layer management, advanced search, filtering, printing, and measurements.
- **Tile and OGC services publishing**
Publish data as:
- Raster and vector tiles
- OGC WMS, WMTS, WFS
- OGC API – Features
- Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF
- **External services support**
Connect third-party TMS, WMS, and WFS services and use them directly in Web Maps.
---
### QGIS-native collaboration
- **Full QGIS style support**
Use QGIS styles to visualize datasets.
- **Hub for QGIS-centered teamwork**
Publish QGIS projects to NextGIS Web and edit server-side data directly from QGIS using the [NextGIS Connect](https://github.com/nextgis/nextgis_connect) plugin.
See the NGW/QGIS integration extension: [nextgisweb_qgis](https://github.com/nextgis/nextgisweb_qgis)
---
### Built-in version control for vector data
- **Track the full history of vector datasets**
Who changed what, when, and how. Roll back changes or audit edits without data loss.
---
### Editing and attachments
- **Built-in vector layers editor**
Create and modify vector layers directly in the web interface.
- **Attachments management**
Attach photos and documents to vector layer features. Preview and manage attachments directly on Web Maps.
---
### Security and access control
- **Flexible permissions management**
Create users and groups with fine-grained access control, down to individual layers or maps.
---
### API and extensibility
- **Powerful REST API**
All functionality is accessible programmatically: users, layers, services, maps, permissions, and more.
- **Frontend integration**
Build custom web applications using [NextGIS JavaScript libraries](https://github.com/nextgis/nextgisweb_frontend)
