Sentinel 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 Sentinel-2 (L2A/L1C) and Sentinel-1 (GRD) imagery from the Copernicus Data Space for an AOI from a layer or GPKG file, with automatic ready-symbolised products: RGB, CIR, SWIR, GEO composites, NDVI, NDWI, NDMI, NBR, NDSI, NDRE indices and the SCL classification map.
About
BULK SENTINEL DOWNLOADS WITH READY-TO-USE PRODUCTS The plugin searches and bulk-downloads satellite imagery from the official Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (a free account at dataspace.copernicus.eu is required — the plugin includes a built-in sign-up guide). WHAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD: - Sentinel-2 L2A — atmospherically corrected optical imagery (recommended), - Sentinel-2 L1C — raw optical imagery, - Sentinel-1 GRD — radar imagery (sees through clouds and at night). 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: - up to 4 parallel downloads, automatic retries after errors, - resuming of interrupted sessions (already downloaded files are skipped), - a CSV summary report, optional remembering of credentials. 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 edges, - indices 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), NDRE (chlorophyll, early plant stress), - SCL — the ESA scene classification map with a class legend (vegetation / soil / water / snow / clouds / shadows), perfect for cloud masking. - Finished products can be loaded into the QGIS project automatically.
