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.

Excel

Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx and .xls) is the most commonly used spreadsheet format. Similar to CSV, coordinate columns in Excel files can be used to create geographic features. XLSX is the modern Office Open XML format, and XLS is the traditional binary format. Excel format offers advantages over CSV including multiple worksheets, data type validation, and formatting.

Conversion trade-offs

DGN: limitations to know

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

Excel: what you gain

  • Non-technical users can directly edit geographic data in Excel
  • Supports large number of rows (XLSX supports over 1 million rows)

Why convert DGN to Excel?

Converting DGN to Excel 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 Excel 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 Excel 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 Excel converter free?

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting DGN to Excel?

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 Excel output.
