How to convert GeoPackage to GeoJSON

Three steps, no software to install. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile.

01

Upload your GeoPackage file

Drop a .gpkg file into the converter, or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are supported.

02

Convert in your browser

Click Convert to GeoJSON. The file is processed locally, so your data is never uploaded to a server.

03

Download your GeoJSON file

The GeoJSON file downloads straight to your device. Need another format? Pick a converter below.

Beyond conversion

GeoPackage vs GeoJSON: what changes when you convert

GeoPackage is built for modern desktop GIS and multi-layer projects. GeoJSON is built for web maps, APIs and JavaScript apps.

GeoPackage

What is a GeoPackage file?

GeoPackage is an open OGC standard built on SQLite. One .gpkg file can hold many vector layers, raster tiles and attribute tables together.

It has none of the Shapefile's limits — long field names, large files, proper data types — and it is the default format in QGIS.

GeoJSON

What is a GeoJSON file?

GeoJSON is an open standard (RFC 7946) for describing geographic features in JSON. Each feature pairs a geometry — point, line or polygon — with a set of properties.

It is the native format of web mapping libraries like Leaflet, Mapbox GL and OpenLayers, and of most geospatial APIs. The trade-off: plain text gets heavy for large datasets.

What to know before converting GeoPackage to GeoJSON

Your GeoPackage file

A GeoPackage can hold several layers; check that the layers you need appear in the output.

The GeoJSON output

GeoJSON expects WGS84 longitude/latitude, so coordinates are written in that system for maximum compatibility.

Privacy

Your file never leaves your device: conversion runs in your browser, for files up to 100 MB.
