Download Delaware Aerial Imagery as JPEG, PNG or GeoTIFF
You can export any part of any Delaware imagery year at its full native resolution, as a picture or as GIS-ready data.
Formats
- JPEG: smallest files, adjustable quality. Includes an optional world file (.jgw) and .prj so it still drops into GIS.
- PNG: lossless, with a world file (.pgw) and .prj.
- GeoTIFF: georeferenced in NAD83 / Delaware State Plane meters (EPSG:26957), optionally compressed. Opens directly in QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, Global Mapper and AutoCAD Map 3D.
Resolution
Choose Max to pull every year at its own native sharpness, or force a common pixel size (0.15 m to 2 m), or a fixed width in pixels. Large areas are fetched as tiles and stitched together in your browser automatically.

Many years at once
Select several years (or All / Covered) and they download together as one ZIP, with a README listing the source, pixel size and exact extent of every file.
Downloads are assembled entirely in your browser from the State of Delaware's public imagery service. Nothing you search for or download is uploaded or stored.
