Convert Shapefile to GeoJSON Online
Legacy ESRI Shapefiles contain multiple files (.shp, .dbf, .shx) with outdated 10-character field name limits. Converting Shapefiles to GeoJSON produces modern, web-friendly JSON compatible with Leaflet, Mapbox, GIS APIs, and web dashboards.
Parsed entirely in your browser — the file is never uploaded. Select the .shp; pair it with its .dbf in the editor to keep attribute columns.
SQL & Code Example
How to perform this conversion directly in your PostgreSQL / PostGIS database:
-- Import Shapefile directly into PostGIS via ogr2ogr ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"dbname=mydb user=postgres" parcels.shp -nln parcels -t_srs EPSG:4326
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to upload files to a server?+
No. WKT Studio reads the shapefile binary streams directly inside your browser client, ensuring your spatial data never leaves your computer.
Are polygon attributes preserved?+
Yes. When imported into the editor, DBF table columns are mapped directly to GeoJSON feature properties.
