About DLG files

The Digital Line Graph (DLG) file format is widely used for representing vector-based geographic data, primarily in mapping and GIS applications. Despite its utility, DLG files can be complex to handle due to their specialized nature and the necessity for specific software to access them effectively. Common software for viewing and converting DLG files includes ArcGIS and QGIS, both of which provide robust options for transforming DLG files into other formats such as Shapefile (.shp), Keyhole Markup Language (.kml), and GeoJSON (.geojson).

Converting DLG files can present several challenges. The primary issue is ensuring data integrity during the conversion process, as geographic and geospatial data require precise handling to maintain accuracy. Furthermore, the large size of DLG files can result in extended processing times and increased storage requirements. Another consideration is the compatibility of the desired output format with the user's intended application, which often requires technical knowledge of both the source and target formats.

While DLG files are valuable for specific GIS applications, their complexity and the technical skills required for conversion can be drawbacks. This is where Convert.Guru excels. By using Convert.Guru, you can effortlessly convert DLG files to a more manageable format by simply dragging and dropping your files onto the website. This user-friendly service simplifies the conversion process, making it accessible to users without specialized GIS knowledge. Use Convert.Guru to convert DLG files into popular formats like .shp, .kml, or .geojson, and streamline your workflow today!


The DLG Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best DLG converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
