Satellite imagery / High resolution
High-resolution satellite imagery
for any place on Earth.
Buy a recent or specific-date satellite image of your property, site or region at 30 cm, 50 cm, 1 m or coarser resolution. Choose an existing archive image or order a new satellite capture, and see the capture date, license and full price before you commit.
Availability, minimum order area, price and license depend on the location and the request. We confirm them in your quote; submitting an enquiry does not place an order.
Common uses
What people buy high-resolution imagery for.
Construction progress
Compare a site between dates to document progress for clients, lenders or your own records.
Storm and insurance evidence
Get a dated image from before or after an event to support an inspection or claim.
Maps and plans
Use a sharp, georeferenced base image for site plans, presentations and GIS projects.
How ordering works
From your request
to files you can use.
- 01
Tell us the place and the need
Share the location or boundary, the dates and what you want to see or measure. A rough description is enough to start.
- 02
Review the options and the quote
We check suitable sources and show the capture dates, coverage, resolution, license and complete price before you commit.
- 03
Receive the data
Get the files with their metadata and license, ready for your own tools, or ask us to quote an analysis.
Before you buy, check
- Capture date and time, not just the delivery date.
- Cloud, haze and shadow over the exact area you care about.
- Viewing angle: images taken off-nadir show building sides and can shift features.
- Pansharpened color or separate multispectral bands, depending on your use.
- Minimum billable area, and whether a small plot is billed at that minimum.
- The license: internal use, client reports, publishing online or reselling.
Questions
High-resolution satellite imagery: your questions.
What is the highest resolution satellite imagery I can buy?
Around 30 cm per pixel is the finest native resolution widely sold by commercial satellite operators. Some providers also sell processed products that look sharper. If you need a few centimeters of detail, a drone or aerial survey is the better source.
How recent can the image be?
Archive images range from days to years old depending on the place and how often it is captured. The quote shows the actual capture date. For the latest view, order a new capture for a window you choose; cloud and satellite capacity can delay it.
Is there a minimum order?
Many providers set a minimum area, often larger for new captures than for archive images. A small plot may be billed at that minimum. Your quote states the billable area and the full price before you order.
Can I see a live satellite image?
No. Earth observation satellites capture images at specific times as they pass over. There is no public live video of a place from space, and services that claim it usually show older basemap imagery.
