About SHP files

SHP files are a type of vector-based geographic information system (GIS) file format used to store spatial data. They are used to store geographic data such as points, lines, and polygons. SHP files are commonly used to store information about geographic features such as roads, rivers, and lakes, as well as other types of geographic data such as population and land use information. SHP files can be opened and edited in a variety of GIS software programs, including ArcGIS, QGIS, and Global Mapper. They can also be converted to other GIS file formats such as GeoJSON, KML, DXF, and GeoTIFF.

When converting SHP files, it is important to consider the accuracy of the data and the compatibility of the file format with the software being used. Additionally, SHP files can be difficult to work with because of their large file size and complex structure. This can make conversion difficult and time-consuming.

For these reasons, it is often easier to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert SHP files. Convert.Guru offers a variety of features, including the ability to convert SHP files to a variety of other file formats, including GeoJSON, KML, DXF, and GeoTIFF. Additionally, Convert.Guru offers a simple and intuitive user interface, making it easy to convert SHP files quickly and accurately.


The SHP 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 SHP converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
