Coordinate Column Mapping
Select columns containing coordinate data. Auto-detected columns are pre-selected.
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.
GMT ASCII Vectors is a text-based vector data format used by Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) software. GMT is widely used in earth science research and academic paper map making. The GMT format records geographic features as text lines, each containing coordinates and optional attribute information.
Converting Excel to GMT 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 GMT 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 GMT output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.
Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.
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.
Yes — drop several Excel files at once and each one produces its own GMT output.
Upload your Excel 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.
Download the GMT file. Each input produces its own output, ready to use in your GIS, web map, or archive.
