About GIS files
GIS files are a type of data file used to store geographic information. They are used to store, analyze, and present geographic data in a variety of ways. GIS files can be used to store geographic data such as points, lines, and polygons, as well as other data such as elevation, population, and climate. GIS files come in a variety of formats, including ESRI shapefiles (.shp), GeoJSON (.geojson), KML (.kml), and GeoTIFF (.tif).
Converting GIS files can be a challenging task. Different GIS file formats have different structures and may require specialized software to open and manipulate. For example, ESRI shapefiles require the use of ESRI's ArcGIS software, while GeoJSON files require a text editor or GIS software such as QGIS. Additionally, some GIS file formats may not be compatible with certain software, making conversion difficult. For example, ESRI shapefiles cannot be opened in QGIS.
In addition to the challenges of converting GIS files, there are also drawbacks to using GIS files. GIS files are often large and can take up a lot of storage space. They can also be difficult to share, as they require specialized software to view. For these reasons, it is often better to use an online service such as Convert.Guru to convert GIS files, as it is free and easy to use. Convert.Guru can convert GIS files to a variety of formats, including ESRI shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML, and GeoTIFF.
The GIS 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 GIS converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
