Frequently Asked Questions

Shapefile is ESRI's popular GIS format. It actually consists of multiple files (.shp, .dbf, .shx) that together define geographic features and their attributes.

Minimum: .shp (geometry) and .dbf (attributes). The .shx index file helps but is optional. Upload all files together or as a ZIP archive.

GeoJSON is the standard JSON format for geographic data. It's widely used in web mapping libraries like Leaflet, Mapbox, and OpenLayers.

Points, MultiPoints, Polylines (LineStrings), Polygons, and their Multi variants. 3D geometries (PointZ, etc.) are converted to 2D.

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your geographic data never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.

DBF attributes become GeoJSON feature properties. All field types (text, number, date) are preserved in the JSON output.

The converter preserves original coordinates. Most Shapefiles use WGS84 (EPSG:4326) which is GeoJSON's standard. Other CRS may need reprojection.

Yes. Upload a ZIP file containing the Shapefile components. The converter extracts and processes the required files automatically.

No hard limit, but large Shapefiles (50MB+) may be slow. For very large files, consider using desktop GIS software.

The GeoJSON output is shown in the text area. For visual preview, copy to a GeoJSON viewer or mapping application.
