Free Unlimited Australian & NZ High-Resolution Aerial Imagery @ Vexcel Data Group

960

After seeing MetroMap's offering, I conducted a search to see if there is any free High-Resolution Aerial Imagery Available.

I found that Vexcel Group offers free, unlimited High-Resolution Aerial Imagery.
Their images are from 2020 to April 2025 in Sydney, Dec 2024 in Melbourne, and July 2025 in Bris.
They also offer New Zealand too

Hope this helps save some people 2k+ by using a few-month-old images.

      Mobile version is terrible, hides the email field. Use. A desktop version if you have issues with the signup page

      • Yep, worked fine on desktop

    • High resolution of Perth?? We're so far behind over here, we'd be lucky if it's in colour

      Never stop thinking

    I just signed up, the image is blur, slightly better than google map. Not as clear as what I expected.

      I see what you mean - you zoom in expecting it to be clear but it's blurry.

    Thanks for this. Been chasing some updated higher res imagery of our property.

    I tried to sign up last week and didn't get an activation email. YMMV.

  • I wouldn’t call it hi resolution. Apple maps and Google maps better. Limited areas. I couldn’t get pictures of a rural property.

      at least suburban Melbourne is a better quality than Google/Apple (7.5cm resolution, you can even guess models of the cars). It's just site is under heavy load and hi-res tiles are not loading most of the time. Try in a day or so.

        yeah when you set to 3d its way better

    I guess there are limitations on how well a free product is maintained.

  • they say free, then hit you with a licnese fee on commercial use because they hid some convoluted terms….

    Alternatively, NSW images of far better quality than Google can be found here https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/explorer/index.html
    No sign-up required.

    Other State governments may have similar. Or not.

  • Let me search my ex's house

  • Signed up but looking at images, they arent high resolution for sure. They are only slighly better than google images.

    • Have you tried maybe upscaling them? Try upscayl

  • Nearmap used to be gold about 10 years ago when it was free !
