Planet Platform

Automated, accessible, scalable

Planet’s automated, cloud-based imagery and analytics platform downloads, processes, and manages 15+ terabytes of data every day.

Built for speed and flexibility, our platform enables customers to efficiently access, discover, and build solutions at scale.

Automated imagery processing

Leverage Planet’s high-frequency imagery at the speed of change and in the formats you prefer. Planet’s automated pipeline delivers analysis-ready data, without costly post-processing or manual intervention needed on your side.

Orthorectification removes collection geometry, pointing error, and terrain variability distortions
Radiometric corrections correct for sensor artifacts and transformation to at-sensor radiance
Top- and bottom-of-atmosphere corrections reduce spectral inconsistency across time and location

Move the slider bar to compare Planet's surface reflectance product (left) and top-of-atmosphere reflectance product (right) in adjacent captures by the same satellite.

API search and download

Programmatically search, download, and transform data from with Planet’s API, built on REST, JSON, and HTTP standards.
