Shapefile to GeoJSON Converter
Open a zipped Shapefile and convert its features to GeoJSON without uploading it.
Convert a zipped Shapefile to GeoJSON entirely in your browser. The archive is read client-side—there is no server upload of the ZIP for the free tool path.

How it works
- Zip the .shp, .shx, and .dbf files together.
- Choose the ZIP file.
- Download or edit the converted GeoJSON.
Current limitations
- A ZIP containing the related Shapefile parts is recommended.
- Projection metadata support depends on the source archive.
Examples
Minimal ZIP
Include at least .shp, .shx, and .dbf. Add .prj when you have it. Prefer a single logical layer per archive when possible.
After conversion
Download GeoJSON, or open the FeatureCollection in the editor to inspect attributes on the map. Reproject separately if coordinates are not lon/lat.
Tips
- If import fails, re-zip the component files at the top level of the archive (not nested folders).
- Free accounts export GeoJSON only; Pro unlocks Shapefile export in the editor.
- For multi-gigabyte national datasets, use desktop GIS or Mapshaper instead.
