About UP0 files

A .up0 file is a proprietary Cadastral parcel update file predominantly used by the Iran Cadastral System (SHIMIM). These files store highly specific geographic boundaries, coordinate geometry, and metadata related to land registry and GIS deeds.

The major disadvantage of the .up0 format is its closed, regional nature. Standard global geospatial applications such as QGIS or ArcGIS cannot natively read these files without specialized local plugins. Because it is proprietary, users are often locked out of viewing their own land parcel data unless they maintain access to the original Iranian government software.

To make this data usable in standard web browsers or mapping tools, users must convert .up0 files to universally recognized open formats like SHP (Shapefile), KML (Google Earth), or GEOJSON. However, converting out of this specialized format often risks stripping away specific regional deed encryption or metadata.

This file format is difficult to open or convert due to its closed nature. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your UP0 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PTM, EBK and FSM files.
