Open and inspect Shapefile on a real map
Import a .shp file, inspect up to 50 geometries immediately, then save the map with Google when you want to keep or share it.
Your file stays in this browser until you choose to save.
Need another format? Paste WKT or import CSV
.shp file into WKT Studio to parse the geometry binary and render the layer on an interactive map in seconds.Shapefiles use 1990s-era dBase binary formats with 10-character column name limits. For modern web applications, convert your Shapefile into GeoJSON or Well-Known Text (WKT) directly using our editor:
Export clean JSON consumable by Leaflet, Mapbox GL JS, OpenLayers, and modern web APIs.
Generate INSERT INTO table (geom) VALUES (ST_GeomFromText(...)) statements.
A Shapefile is a legacy geospatial vector data format developed by ESRI. It consists of multiple files sharing the same prefix, primarily .shp (geometry), .shx (shape index), .dbf (dBase attribute table), and .prj (projection information).
Simply select or drag your .shp file into the browser uploader above. WKT Studio reads the binary geometry streams directly in JavaScript and renders them on an interactive Leaflet/Mapbox canvas.
Yes. Once the Shapefile is imported into WKT Studio, you can immediately export the layer as GeoJSON, CSV with WKT geometry, KML for Google Earth, or SQL INSERT statements for PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
Yes. All parsing happens 100% locally on your computer inside your browser engine. No spatial data is uploaded to remote servers unless you explicitly choose to save a project to your account.
