About

File Geodatabase

ESRI File Geodatabase is a file-based geodatabase format from ESRI using proprietary binary storage. It overcomes many Shapefile limitations, supporting massive data storage (single table exceeding 1TB), advanced data modeling (topology networks, subtypes, domains), and spatial indexing. GDB is the preferred data format for the ArcGIS platform, widely used in enterprise and government GIS systems.

GeoPackage

GeoPackage is an open standard defined by OGC, implemented on SQLite database technology. It is a single container file that can simultaneously store vector features, raster imagery, attribute tables, and map tiles. GeoPackage requires no database server and can be used directly on mobile devices and desktop applications, making it an ideal choice for modern GIS data exchange.

Conversion trade-offs

File Geodatabase: limitations to know

  • ESRI proprietary format, limited support in non-ESRI software
  • Directory structure (multiple files) not suitable for single-file distribution

GeoPackage: what you gain

  • Self-contained single file, easy to manage and transfer
  • Spatial indexing support, excellent query performance for large datasets
  • Cross-platform compatible, can be used directly on mobile devices

Why convert File Geodatabase to GeoPackage?

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

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting File Geodatabase to GeoPackage?

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