Shapefile to GeoJSON FAQ
Is this shapefile to GeoJSON converter free?
Yes. Convert as many files as you like, with no account, no watermark and no limits beyond your device's memory.
Why do I need the .prj?
The .prj says which coordinate system the shapefile uses, so it can be converted to longitude and latitude. Without it, coordinates are taken as longitude/latitude, or you're asked for the system.
What about the .dbf text encoding?
The .cpg file or the code page in the .dbf is used; without either, UTF-8 or Windows Latin-1 is detected.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted in your browser tab and never leaves your device.
