Upload Any Shapefile to GeoJSON in Seconds — No Desktop GIS Required
Tired of firing up QGIS just to convert a .shp file? geojson.cloud lets you upload, convert, and visualize Shapefiles directly in your browser — handling projections, validation, and edits without a single install.
Quick 3-Step Workflow (Under 30 Seconds)
- Drag & Drop: Head to geojson.cloud and drop your .shp/.zip (or .kml, .gpx) into the upload zone. It auto-detects and loads on a Google Maps base layer.
- Auto-Convert & Validate: One click triggers reprojection to EPSG:4326, geometry repair (e.g., self-intersections), and property sanitization. See errors highlighted in real-time.
- Visualize & Edit: Zoom, pan, and draw new features with precision tools. Export as clean GeoJSON, TopoJSON, or KML — ready for Leaflet or Mapbox.
Why It Beats Desktop Tools
- File Limits: Free tier handles 5MB; Pro ($12/mo) goes to 10MB for county-level datasets.
- Privacy First: Everything stays in-browser; no server uploads unless you choose cloud save.
- Pro Tip: For teams, the $29/mo Team plan unlocks 50MB files and API access for batch uploads.
Test it with your next Shapefile — no account needed.
