About

S-57

S-57 is an electronic navigational chart (ENC) data exchange standard defined by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), the official data format recognized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). S-57 data contains nautical features including water depths, channels, anchorages, and obstructions, serving as the key data foundation for safe maritime navigation.

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.

Conversion trade-offs

S-57: limitations to know

  • Specialized format primarily for maritime navigation
  • Data access typically requires authorization and payment

GeoJSON: what you gain

  • Human-readable, easy to manually edit and debug
  • Supported by virtually all GIS software and mapping libraries
  • Naturally suited for web applications and API data transmission

Why convert S-57 to GeoJSON?

Converting S-57 to GeoJSON is one of the most common workflows in GIS. S-57 data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while GeoJSON is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your S-57 files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean GeoJSON 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 S-57 to GeoJSON converter free?

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting S-57 to GeoJSON?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your S-57 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 S-57 files at once and each one produces its own GeoJSON output.

GeoJSON at a glance

Key Features

  • Based on standard JSON, natively supported by all programming languages
  • Supports multiple geometry types: Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPolygon, etc.
  • Can carry attribute data and supports FeatureCollection for batch organizing features

Common Use Cases

  • Data exchange for web maps and online mapping services
  • Geospatial data storage and display in mobile applications
  • Sharing and transporting GIS data across platforms

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your S-57 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 GeoJSON file. Each input produces its own output, ready to use in your GIS, web map, or archive.
