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.

Shapefile

ESRI Shapefile is a vector data format developed by ESRI and one of the most widely used formats in GIS. A Shapefile actually consists of multiple files: .shp stores geometry, .shx stores spatial index, .dbf stores attributes, and .prj stores coordinate reference system information. Common practice is to package these files into a ZIP archive for distribution. Shapefile supports three basic geometry types: point, line, and polygon.

Conversion trade-offs

GeoPackage: limitations to know

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

Shapefile: what you gain

  • Industry standard with the best compatibility for data exchange
  • Excellent read performance, suitable for large-scale datasets
  • Extensive third-party library and tool support

Why convert GeoPackage to Shapefile?

Converting GeoPackage to Shapefile 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 Shapefile 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 Shapefile 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 Shapefile converter free?

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting GeoPackage to Shapefile?

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 Shapefile output.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your GeoPackage 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.
