About

GeoJSON

GeoJSON is a geospatial data interchange format based on JSON. It can represent Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon, and GeometryCollection geometries. Defined by RFC 7946, GeoJSON has become one of the most popular data exchange formats in web GIS. GeoJSON files use WGS84 coordinates and support Feature objects with associated properties and FeatureCollections for organizing multiple features.

GMT

GMT ASCII Vectors is a text-based vector data format used by Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) software. GMT is widely used in earth science research and academic paper map making. The GMT format records geographic features as text lines, each containing coordinates and optional attribute information.

Conversion trade-offs

GeoJSON: limitations to know

  • Text format results in larger file sizes, not suitable for massive datasets
  • Does not support topology or spatial indexing

GMT: what you gain

  • Widely used by earth science researchers

Why convert GeoJSON to GMT?

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

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting GeoJSON to GMT?

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

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your GeoJSON 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 GMT file. Each input produces its own output, ready to use in your GIS, web map, or archive.
