About

SQLite/DB

SQLite/SpatiaLite is a solution for storing geospatial data in SQLite databases. The SpatiaLite extension adds spatial data types, spatial indexing, and spatial functions to SQLite, making it a lightweight spatial database. SQLite databases are single-file structures requiring no server, ideal for embedded and mobile GIS applications.

ASCII Grid

ASCII Grid (also AAIGrid) is a plain-text raster format by ESRI. The file header contains geographic metadata (cols, rows, origin, cell size, NoData), and the body stores each cell value as a space-separated numeric matrix. Highly readable, often used for teaching and small-scale data exchange.

Conversion trade-offs

SQLite/DB: limitations to know

  • Requires SpatiaLite extension for spatial functionality
  • Does not support concurrent multi-user writes

ASCII Grid: what you gain

  • Viewable and editable without specialized software

Why convert SQLite/DB to ASCII Grid?

Converting SQLite/DB to ASCII Grid is one of the most common workflows in GIS. SQLite/DB data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while ASCII Grid is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your SQLite/DB files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean ASCII Grid output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.

Is the SQLite/DB to ASCII Grid converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting SQLite/DB to ASCII Grid?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your SQLite/DB file uses a projected CRS (like UTM), you can search any EPSG coordinate system by keyword or code and reproject in one step. Note: output formats that require WGS84 by specification (KML, KMZ, GPX) always reproject to WGS84 automatically.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drop several SQLite/DB files at once and each one produces its own ASCII Grid output.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your SQLite/DB file — drag and drop it onto the page, or browse from your device. You can add several files at once for batch conversion.

  2. 2

    The conversion runs automatically in your browser. No upload, no server — your data stays on your device the entire time.

  3. 3

    Download the ASCII Grid file. Each input produces its own output, ready to use in your GIS, web map, or archive.
