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.

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.

Conversion trade-offs

S-57: limitations to know

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

GeoPackage: what you gain

  • Self-contained single file, easy to manage and transfer
  • Spatial indexing support, excellent query performance for large datasets
  • Cross-platform compatible, can be used directly on mobile devices

Why convert S-57 to GeoPackage?

Converting S-57 to GeoPackage 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 GeoPackage 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 GeoPackage 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 GeoPackage converter free?

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

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

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 GeoPackage output.
