Quick start

  1. 1

    Upload a shapefile

    Choose a .shp file or a .zip archive containing the .shp, .dbf, .shx, and .prj shapefile components.

  2. 2

    Preview the converted features

    ChatDB parses the shapefile locally in your browser and previews the GeoJSON features on an interactive map.

  3. 3

    Download GeoJSON

    Export the converted data as a .geojson file for web maps, data pipelines, or the GeoJSON Viewer.

Data stays on your device

Shapefile conversion runs locally in your browser. Files are not uploaded to ChatDB.

Use this Shapefile to GeoJSON converter when you need ESRI shapefile data in a web mapping format. Upload a .shp file or zipped shapefile archive, inspect the parsed features on a map, and download GeoJSON without sending your data to a server.

Private Shapefile Conversion

Your shapefile is parsed locally in the browser and never sent to a server.

Map Preview

Preview converted points, lines, and polygons before downloading the GeoJSON file.

GeoJSON Export

Download a GeoJSON file ready for web maps, GIS tools, and data workflows.

Does the shapefile upload to a server?

No. The shapefile is parsed locally in your browser. Your source files and generated GeoJSON never leave your device.

Should I upload a .shp file or a .zip archive?

Use a .zip archive when possible. A complete shapefile usually includes .shp geometry, .dbf attributes, .shx index data, and .prj projection information.

Can I inspect the GeoJSON before downloading it?

Yes. The converter previews the parsed features on a map before export, so you can verify the geometry and attributes first.

What can I do after converting a shapefile to GeoJSON?

Open the exported file in the GeoJSON Viewer, use it in a web map, analyze it in GIS software, or convert it to KML for Google Earth.

Convert shapefiles for web maps

Start with a complete archive

Upload a zipped shapefile when you have one. The .dbf and .prj files preserve attributes and projection metadata that a lone .shp file may not include.

Preview before export

The map preview helps catch missing geometry, unexpected layers, or empty files before you download the GeoJSON result.

Continue in GeoJSON tools

After exporting, open the file in the GeoJSON Viewer or convert it to KML for Google Earth.
