How to convert SQLite to GeoJSON

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

01

Upload your SQLite file

Drop a .sqlite or .db 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

A file is a start. A map tells the story.

Converted your SQLite file? Upload it to GISCARTA and turn it into an interactive map your team or clients can actually use.

Every layer, styled your way

Colour by attribute, cluster thousands of points, switch on 3D.

Dashboards with live charts

Charts and key numbers next to the map, updated as you filter.

Timeslider for change over time

Animate dated features and compare how places change.

Share with a link or embed

Publish a read-only map, embed it on your site, or keep it private with role-based access.

SQLite vs GeoJSON: what changes when you convert

SQLite is built for SQL querying and mobile or offline apps. GeoJSON is built for web maps, APIs and JavaScript apps.

SQLite

What is a SQLite file?

SQLite is a self-contained, serverless SQL database stored in a single file. Each layer sits in its own table, and you can filter, aggregate and join it with standard SQL.

With the SpatiaLite extension, SQLite also stores geometry and supports spatial queries. It opens in QGIS, DB Browser for SQLite, Python, R and many mobile and desktop apps.

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 SQLite to GeoJSON

Your SQLite file

Geometry in SQLite is usually stored with SpatiaLite; tables without geometry come through as attributes only.

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.
