About

SQLite/DB

SQLite/SpatiaLite is a solution for storing geospatial data in SQLite databases. The SpatiaLite extension adds spatial data types, spatial indexing, and spatial functions to SQLite, making it a lightweight spatial database. SQLite databases are single-file structures requiring no server, ideal for embedded and mobile GIS applications.

TopoJSON

TopoJSON is a GeoJSON extension developed by Mike Bostock that encodes topology to eliminate redundant shared boundaries. Unlike GeoJSON where each polygon independently stores all vertices, TopoJSON uses arcs to share common boundaries between adjacent features, reducing file sizes by over 80%. TopoJSON is particularly suited for rendering large numbers of adjacent areas such as administrative district maps.

Conversion trade-offs

SQLite/DB: limitations to know

  • Requires SpatiaLite extension for spatial functionality
  • Does not support concurrent multi-user writes

TopoJSON: what you gain

  • Dramatically reduces network transfer and storage requirements
  • Topological relationships support efficient geometric operations

Why convert SQLite/DB to TopoJSON?

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

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting SQLite/DB to TopoJSON?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your SQLite/DB 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 SQLite/DB files at once and each one produces its own TopoJSON output.

TopoJSON at a glance

Key Features

  • Topology encoding eliminates redundant vertices, file size 80%+ smaller than GeoJSON
  • Preserves topological relationships between features for adjacency analysis
  • Can be easily converted back to GeoJSON for rendering

Common Use Cases

  • Efficient rendering of large adjacent areas like administrative districts in web maps
  • GIS applications requiring topology analysis (adjacency, containment)

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your SQLite/DB 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 TopoJSON file. Each input produces its own output, ready to use in your GIS, web map, or archive.
