About

DGN

DGN (Design) is the native design file format of Bentley Systems Microstation, widely used in infrastructure engineering (roads, bridges, pipelines) and architectural design. DGN files contain rich vector graphics, annotations, and reference information. Vector features from DGN can be extracted to standard GIS formats through the GDAL library.

CSV

CSV is a plain text table format with comma-separated columns. In GIS, CSV is commonly used to store tabular data with coordinate columns (such as longitude, latitude). While CSV itself is not a geospatial format, by specifying coordinate fields, tabular data can be converted to geometric features like points, lines, or polygons. CSV is the most common way to export geographic data from spreadsheets, databases, and sensors.

Conversion trade-offs

DGN: limitations to know

  • Proprietary format, parsing relies on third-party libraries like GDAL
  • Complex coordinate reference system handling

CSV: what you gain

  • Most universal format, can be generated and read by virtually all systems
  • Easy to manually edit and review
  • Suitable for batch conversion and import of coordinate data

Why convert DGN to CSV?

Converting DGN to CSV is one of the most common workflows in GIS. DGN data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while CSV is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your DGN files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean CSV 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 DGN to CSV converter free?

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting DGN to CSV?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your DGN 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 DGN files at once and each one produces its own CSV output.
