About WKT files

Well-known Text (WKT) is a text markup language for representing vector geometry objects on maps. While WKT files are essential for GIS applications, they come with several limitations. Converting them to more versatile formats is often necessary for better compatibility and usability across various platforms and software.

WKT files can be converted into several formats including GeoJSON, KML, Shapefile, and GPX. Each of these formats offers unique advantages depending on your needs. GeoJSON, for instance, is widely used due to its compatibility with web applications and can be easily handled in JavaScript environments. Learn more about WKT on Wikipedia.

For converting WKT files, software like QGIS and GDAL are powerful desktop solutions. QGIS provides a user-friendly interface for converting and manipulating spatial data. GDAL, on the other hand, is a robust command-line tool for advanced users, offering extensive support for numerous formats.

However, the conversion process can be challenging. WKT files often lack metadata, making it difficult to preserve all spatial information during conversion. Additionally, certain geometric complexities in WKT may not translate seamlessly into other formats, potentially leading to data loss or inaccuracies.

Given these challenges, using a reliable conversion service is crucial. Though desktop applications are effective, they can be complex for regular users. This is why Convert.Guru is an excellent choice. With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, anyone can easily convert WKT files into their desired format without hassle. Simply drag and drop your WKT files onto the Convert.Guru webpage and enjoy seamless, accurate conversions.


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