Earth Engine is introducing
noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by
April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on
April 27, 2026.

ee.Image.paint
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Paints the geometries of a collection onto an image, using the given 'color' value to replace each band's values where any geometry covers the image (or, if a line width is specified, where the perimeters do).
This algorithm is most suitable for converting categorical data from feature properties to pixels in an image; if you wish to visualize a collection, consider using FeatureCollection.style instead, which supports RGB colors whereas this algorithm is strictly 'monochrome' (using single numeric values).
| Usage | Returns | Image.paint(featureCollection, color, width) | Image |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: image | Image | The image on which the collection is painted. |
featureCollection | FeatureCollection | The collection painted onto the image. |
color | Object, default: 0 | The pixel value to paint into every band of the input image, either as a number which will be used for all features, or the name of a numeric property to take from each feature in the collection. |
width | Object, default: null | Line width, either as a number which will be the line width for all geometries, or the name of a numeric property to take from each feature in the collection. If unspecified, the geometries will be filled instead of outlined. |
