Shapefile to GeoPackage Converter
Convert a zipped ESRI Shapefile into a GeoPackage file.
Use this tool to convert an ESRI Shapefile ZIP archive into a GeoPackage (GPKG) database. Your ZIP should contain at least .shp, .shx, and .dbf files. A .prj file is recommended if your data has coordinate reference system information. The backend processes the files inside automated sandbox memory limits.

Frequently Asked Queries
Why do I need to upload a ZIP file?
An ESRI Shapefile is a multi-file vector format consisting of at least three core files (.shp, .shx, and .dbf). To process them together online, they must be uploaded together inside a single compressed ZIP archive.
Does this tool preserve projection and coordinate system details?
Yes. If your uploaded ZIP archive contains a valid coordinate reference system definition file (.prj), the GDAL database engine will automatically read and map the projection standards precisely into the resulting GeoPackage.
How secure is my geospatial vector data?
All translations operate transiently. Uploaded archives are stored in an volatile RAM stream buffer on our sandboxed server, processed in-memory, and immediately discarded. No database records are persisted.
