About

MIF/MID

MapInfo MIF (MapInfo Interchange Format) is MapInfo's data exchange format. MIF files store geometric graphics data, and MID files store corresponding attribute data. Unlike TAB format, MIF/MID is a plain text format more suitable for cross-platform data exchange. Many GIS software use MIF/MID as a bridge for interacting with MapInfo data.

CSV

CSV is a plain text table format with comma-separated columns. In GIS, CSV is commonly used to store tabular data with coordinate columns (such as longitude, latitude). While CSV itself is not a geospatial format, by specifying coordinate fields, tabular data can be converted to geometric features like points, lines, or polygons. CSV is the most common way to export geographic data from spreadsheets, databases, and sensors.

Conversion trade-offs

MIF/MID: limitations to know

  • Large file sizes, slow loading speed
  • Style support not as complete as TAB format

CSV: what you gain

  • Most universal format, can be generated and read by virtually all systems
  • Easy to manually edit and review
  • Suitable for batch conversion and import of coordinate data

Why convert MIF/MID to CSV?

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

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting MIF/MID to CSV?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your MIF/MID 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 MIF/MID files at once and each one produces its own CSV output.
