About TIGER files
TIGER files, or Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing files, are used by the U.S. Census Bureau for geographic and cartographic data. While they are essential for storing complex geographical information, they present challenges in conversion due to their unique structure and data specificity. Learn more about TIGER files on Wikipedia.
Conversion Options
Converting TIGER files can be complex, requiring specialized software like GDAL or QGIS for successful transformation into more accessible formats. Common formats to convert TIGER files into include Shapefile (.shp), GeoJSON (.geojson), KML (.kml), and CSV (.csv).
Challenges in Conversion

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