Convert Shapefile to CSV
Move a Shapefile's attribute table into spreadsheet software while keeping point locations usable as coordinate columns.
Upload one ZIP containing .shp, .shx, .dbf and .prj — not the .shp file by itself. If .prj is missing, GeoVerto requires the source EPSG code before conversion.
How this conversion works
DBF fields become CSV columns. For point Shapefiles, X and Y are written in WGS 84 after reading the source system from .prj.
A Shapefile is a bundle rather than one file. Geometry, index and attributes live in separate sidecars; the .prj is what tells GeoVerto where the coordinates belong.
What the CSV result contains
CSV keeps attributes in ordinary columns. Point geometry can be expressed as X and Y columns; lines and polygons do not fit into one coordinate pair and therefore need a different target when geometry matters.
Check before you use the result
- Lines and polygons cannot be represented by one X/Y pair, so their geometry is not usefully preserved in a flat CSV.
- Field names are already limited by Shapefile's ten-character DBF rule before conversion begins.
GeoVerto reports the detected format, feature count and coordinate-system evidence before starting the job. Treat a low-confidence or missing CRS as a data question to resolve, not a value the converter should silently guess.
