Convert Shapefile to GeoJSON
Prepare a desktop-GIS Shapefile for browser maps, JavaScript libraries and JSON-based data pipelines.
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
GeoVerto reads geometry from the .shp, attributes from the .dbf and the source CRS from .prj, then writes a GeoJSON FeatureCollection in WGS 84.
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 GeoJSON result contains
GeoJSON is written in WGS 84 by default for reliable use in browsers and web-mapping libraries. Geometry and properties share one FeatureCollection.
Check before you use the result
- Put all Shapefile parts in one ZIP; a lone .shp has neither attributes nor a dependable CRS.
- GeoJSON is a single-document format. If the source has unusual mixed geometry, inspect the result before publishing it.
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.
