Three steps, no software to install. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile.
01
Drop a .zip with .shp, .shx, .dbf and .prj files into the converter, or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are supported.
02
Click Convert to XLSX. The file is processed locally, so your data is never uploaded to a server.
03
The XLSX file downloads straight to your device. Need another format? Pick a converter below.
Converted your Shapefile file? Upload it to GISCARTA and turn it into an interactive map your team or clients can actually use.
Colour by attribute, cluster thousands of points, switch on 3D.
Charts and key numbers next to the map, updated as you filter.
Animate dated features and compare how places change.
Publish a read-only map, embed it on your site, or keep it private with role-based access.
No credit card. No GIS degree. Upload your data and start mapping in minutes.
Shapefile is built for exchange with ArcGIS and other desktop GIS. XLSX is built for business reporting and non-GIS teams.
Shapefile
The Shapefile is Esri's vector format from the early 1990s. One dataset is a set of files — .shp (geometry), .shx (index), .dbf (attributes) and .prj (coordinate system) — usually shared as a .zip.
It is still the most widely supported GIS format, but it has hard limits: one geometry type per file, field names of up to 10 characters and a 2 GB size cap.
XLSX
XLSX is the Microsoft Excel workbook format. Geographic data sits in rows, with location stored in latitude/longitude columns or as WKT text.
It is how most business teams already work with data. A sheet holds up to 1,048,576 rows and has no built-in notion of geometry or coordinate systems.
Your Shapefile file
Upload the Shapefile as one .zip that includes .shp, .shx, .dbf and .prj, so attributes and the coordinate system come through.
The XLSX output
Geometry is stored as text — coordinates or WKT — and each sheet is limited to 1,048,576 rows.
Your file never leaves your device: conversion runs in your browser, for files up to 100 MB.
Send Shapefile data to colleagues who live in Excel and never open a GIS.
Summarise Shapefile attributes with pivot tables, charts and formulas.
Edit attributes in a familiar tool, then put the result back on a map.
Every converter runs in your browser and keeps your files on your device.
