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.
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.
Shapefile is the format you receive from government agencies, ArcGIS projects, and open-data portals — but it is a poor fit for the web. It is really a folder of three or more files (.shp, .dbf, .shx, .prj), field names are capped at 10 characters, and no browser can read it natively. GeoJSON is what web maps consume: Leaflet, MapBox, D3, deck.gl and a plain fetch() all load it without any server-side translation. Converting SHP to GeoJSON is the standard step when publishing map data on a website, loading it into a web app, or feeding it to PostGIS and MongoDB.
Zip the whole set and upload the .zip, or select the .shp together with its sidecar files. The converter reads geometry from .shp and attributes from .dbf automatically.
Yes. The GeoJSON specification requires EPSG:4326, so if your .prj defines a projected CRS (like UTM or Gauss-Krüger), coordinates are reprojected to WGS84 during conversion.
The dBASE format behind .dbf limits field names to 10 characters — the truncation exists in the source Shapefile itself, not in the conversion.
Upload your Shapefile file — drag and drop it onto the page, or browse from your device. You can add several files at once for batch conversion.
The conversion runs automatically in your browser. No upload, no server — your data stays on your device the entire time.
