GeoExpress is LizardTech’s flagship software for advanced image compression and manipulation. It allows professionals to efficiently compress and manage massive Satellite, Aerial, UAV, and LiDAR datasets while preserving image quality, reducing storage needs, and minimizing network load. Powered by the patented MrSID® format, GeoExpress delivers multiresolution storage and selective decoding, enabling lightning-fast visualization, analysis, and streaming of terabyte-scale imagery across desktop, server, and cloud environments.
Handle Terabytes Like Megabytes with GeoExpress
Why GeoExpress
MrSID® is purpose-built for massive geospatial datasets, delivering higher compression, faster access, and better scalability than formats like JPEG2000, Zarr, COG, ECW, or GeoTIFF. Its multiresolution and selective decoding capabilities allow instant visualization without full decompression, making it the gold standard for efficient, high-quality imagery management.
Speed Up Your Imagery with GeoExpress
Our technology
MrSID (Multiresolution Seamless Image Database) is a wavelet-based image compression technology created by LizardTech for massive raster datasets like satellite and aerial imagery. It delivers high compression with minimal loss of quality and allows progressive display, so users can quickly view and zoom into large images without full decompression—making it ideal for GIS, mapping, and remote sensing.

I have been working with LizardTech software for a variety of spatial GIS purposes for the past 25 plus years to help with imagery compression for client based GIS and CAD software needs. The ease of use and integration into a variety of 3rd party platforms has been a perfect fit into our methods. Their technology is reliable, innovative, and clearly designed with real user needs in mind specifically for imagery compression and tiling. I have always highly recommend their software to anyone looking for high-quality imaging and data management tools backed by excellent customer support. Always a big fan of the rubber lizards back in the day, we had quite the collection!
