Convert Geospatial Data
Convert between Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, GPX, GML, GeoPackage, FlatGeobuf, TopoJSON, and CSV. Powered by GDAL/OGR.
About Convert Geospatial Data
Convert Geospatial Data is a GDAL/OGR-powered converter that moves vector data between Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, GPX, GML, GeoPackage, FlatGeobuf, TopoJSON, and CSV. It's the tool to reach for when the simpler single-pair converters don't cover your source-to-target combination, or when you want the same robust ogr2ogr engine the GIS world relies on. It runs in your browser, so even proprietary datasets stay local.

Common uses
- Convert a GeoPackage from QGIS into GeoJSON for a web map without spinning up a desktop GIS
- Turn a FlatGeobuf dataset into a Shapefile for a colleague whose toolchain only reads SHP
- Reduce a large GeoJSON to TopoJSON to shrink topology-aware boundaries for the web
- Move GML data from a government open-data portal into GeoJSON
- Export a CSV of coordinates into GeoPackage for use in a desktop GIS project
- Bridge between two formats no single-purpose converter covers, using one GDAL engine
Frequently asked questions
Which formats does it support?
Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, GPX, GML, GeoPackage (.gpkg), FlatGeobuf, TopoJSON, and CSV — converting between any supported pair.
How is this different from the single-pair geo converters?
Those handle one specific direction; this one wraps GDAL/OGR (ogr2ogr) to cover a wide matrix of formats in a single tool.
Does my data get uploaded?
No. The GDAL engine runs in your browser, so your geospatial data — proprietary or otherwise — never leaves your machine.
How do I provide a Shapefile?
Zip its components (.shp, .dbf, .prj) and upload the .zip; the tool also accepts JSON, KML, GPX, GML, CSV, and XML inputs directly.
What does the output come back as?
It's delivered as a downloadable file (application/octet-stream) in your chosen target format.
Are attributes and geometry preserved?
Yes. GDAL carries feature attributes and geometry across formats, within each format's own capabilities.
