CARTO is an open, powerful, and intuitive platform for discovering and predicting the key insights underlying the location data in our world.
|
||||
|
||||
Empower organizations to optimize operational performance, strategic investments, and everyday decisions with CARTO Engine—our embeddable platform for web and mobile apps—and the new CARTO Builder, a drag and drop analysis tool.
|
||||
|
||||
It was built to make it easier for people to tell their stories by
|
||||
providing them with flexible and intuitive ways to create maps and design
|
||||
geospatial applications. CARTO can be installed on your own server
|
||||
and we also offer a hosted service at [carto.com](https://carto.com).
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
We hope you like it!

## What can I do with CARTO?
|
||||
|
||||
With CARTO, you can upload your geospatial data (Shapefiles, GeoJSON,
|
||||
etc) using a web form and then make it public or private.
|
||||
|
||||
After it is uploaded, you can visualize it in a dataset or on a map, search
|
||||
it using SQL, and apply map styles using CartoCSS. You can even access it
|
||||
using the CARTO [APIs](https://docs.carto.com/#cartodb-platform), or export it
|
||||
to a file.
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, with CARTO you can make awesome maps and build
|
||||
powerful geospatial applications! Definitely check out the [CARTO
|
||||
Platform](https://carto.com/platform) for interactive examples
|
||||
and code.
