About OSM files
OpenStreetMap (OSM) files are a type of vector data format used for storing geographic data. They are typically used to store information about roads, buildings, and other features in a geographic area. OSM files are stored in XML format, and can be opened and edited using a variety of software packages such as QGIS, ArcGIS, and OpenStreetMap. OSM files typically have the file extensions .osm, .pbf, or .xml.
OSM files can be converted to other file formats such as GeoJSON, KML, and Shapefile using a variety of software packages such as GDAL, Mapshaper, and ogr2ogr. However, there are some important considerations when converting OSM files. For example, OSM files may contain a large amount of data, which can make the conversion process slow and difficult. Additionally, some of the data in an OSM file may not be compatible with other file formats, which can lead to data loss during conversion.
Due to these challenges, it can be difficult to convert OSM files manually. For this reason, it is recommended to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert OSM files. Convert.Guru provides a simple and fast way to convert OSM files to other formats, and it also ensures that all of the data is preserved during the conversion process.
The OSM 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 OSM converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
