Shapefile Viewer FAQ

Is this shapefile viewer free?

Yes, with no account and no limits beyond your device's memory.

Which files do I need?

The .shp holds the shapes, the .dbf the attributes and the .prj the coordinate system. Add the .cpg if there is one, for the text encoding.

Can I convert the shapefile?

Yes. Open the Export panel to save it as GeoJSON, KML, CSV or a shapefile in another coordinate system.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The file is read and converted in your browser tab and never leaves your device.
