About

Excel

Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx and .xls) is the most commonly used spreadsheet format. Similar to CSV, coordinate columns in Excel files can be used to create geographic features. XLSX is the modern Office Open XML format, and XLS is the traditional binary format. Excel format offers advantages over CSV including multiple worksheets, data type validation, and formatting.

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

Excel: limitations to know

  • Binary format, larger file size than CSV
  • Requires specialized libraries for parsing, not as universal as CSV

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 Excel to GeoPackage?

Converting Excel to GeoPackage is one of the most common workflows in GIS. Excel 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 Excel 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 Excel to GeoPackage converter free?

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting Excel to GeoPackage?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your Excel 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 Excel files at once and each one produces its own GeoPackage output.
