About

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.

FlatGeobuf

FlatGeobuf is a geospatial data format based on FlatBuffers, designed for efficient geospatial data storage and transmission. It supports spatial indexing (based on Packed Hilbert Curve R-tree) enabling spatial filtering during reads, loading only data for the area of interest. FlatGeobuf is particularly suited for web applications and streaming processing scenarios requiring fast random access to large datasets.

Conversion trade-offs

GeoPackage: limitations to know

  • Does not support concurrent multi-user writes
  • Single database file size limited by SQLite constraints

FlatGeobuf: what you gain

  • Read performance far exceeds GeoJSON and Shapefile
  • Single file contains spatial index, no additional index files needed

Why convert GeoPackage to FlatGeobuf?

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

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting GeoPackage to FlatGeobuf?

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