Browser-based GIS workflow

Free Shapefile Tools Online

Open a Shapefile in your browser, inspect its map and attributes, check its coordinate reference system, and convert it to modern GIS or web-map formats without desktop software.

Start here: For a complete Shapefile, provide the .shp, .dbf, and .shx files together, with .prj when available, or upload one ZIP archive.

Open and inspect Shapefiles

Start here when you need to check a delivery, view attributes, or understand its spatial reference.

View & inspect

Shapefile Viewer

Open SHP datasets on a map, browse attributes, and work with individual sidecars or ZIP archives.

 Check projection

CRS / SRS Detector

Detect coordinate reference system and projection metadata from supported GIS files.

 Map extent

Bounding Box Tool

Create a reusable bounding box for checking or communicating the area covered by a dataset.

Convert Shapefiles

Export a legacy Shapefile package into formats better suited to web, portable, or tiled workflows.

Web maps

Shapefile to GeoJSON

Convert a Shapefile to a web-friendly GeoJSON layer for APIs and browser maps.

 Portable GIS

Shapefile to GeoPackage

Move a multi-file Shapefile into one portable GeoPackage container.

 Tiled output

Shapefile to MBTiles

Convert Shapefile data for tile-based, offline map workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Shapefile tools FAQ

What files do I need to open a Shapefile?

A complete Shapefile normally includes .shp geometry, .dbf attributes, and .shx index files. Include the optional .prj file when it is available, or place all sidecars in a single ZIP archive.

Can I convert a Shapefile to GeoJSON online?

Yes. After providing the complete Shapefile, use the Shapefile to GeoJSON converter to create a web-friendly JSON layer directly in your browser.

Are Shapefile tools private?

GeoDataViewer processes Shapefile data locally in your browser. The files are not uploaded to a server for viewing, CRS detection, or conversion.
