Landsat Download QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
Bulk download of Landsat 4-9 Collection 2 Level-2 imagery (global archive since 1982, no account needed) for an AOI from a layer or GPKG file, with automatic ready-symbolised products: RGB, CIR, SWIR, GEO composites, NDVI, NDWI, NDMI, NBR, NDSI indices and land surface temperature in °C.
About
BULK LANDSAT DOWNLOADS WITH READY-TO-USE PRODUCTS — NO ACCOUNT NEEDED The plugin searches and bulk-downloads Landsat imagery from the USGS Landsat Collection 2 Level-2 archive (surface reflectance and surface temperature, 30 m resolution, global coverage since 1982) served openly through the Microsoft Planetary Computer STAC API. No registration, no sign-in, no API keys. MISSIONS: Landsat 8 + 9 (2013 — today), Landsat 7 (1999 — 2022), Landsat 4 + 5 (1982 — 2013) or all of them at once — four decades of Earth observation for change analyses. AREA OF INTEREST: a polygon layer from the project or a GeoPackage (.gpkg) file. FILTERS AND SCENE SELECTION: - date range, maximum cloud cover, scene limit, - strategies: all scenes / manual checklist / month filter / automatically the 3 least cloudy scenes of each month. DOWNLOADING: - the plugin downloads ONLY the bands needed for the chosen products (small, fast transfers), - up to 4 parallel downloads, automatic retries after errors, - resuming of interrupted sessions (finished scenes are skipped), - a CSV summary report; raw band files can be kept or removed. AUTOMATIC PRODUCTS (GeoTIFF with ready-made symbology — coloured in QGIS from the first second): - colour composites: RGB (natural colours), CIR (vegetation in red), SWIR (agriculture), GEO (geology); transparent scene corners, - indices computed on true surface reflectance, with colour ramps and legends (QML files applied automatically): NDVI (vegetation condition), NDWI (surface water), NDMI (vegetation moisture, droughts), NBR (burn severity), NDSI (snow and ice), - TEMP — land surface temperature in degrees Celsius from the Landsat thermal band, with a blue-to-red temperature ramp (urban heat islands, drought monitoring), - finished products can be loaded into the QGIS project automatically.
