About Shapefile (zipped)
Real .shp/.shx/.dbf/.prj/.cpg written in the browser, packaged as a ZIP.
- Field names are truncated to 10 characters and text values to 254 bytes (DBF limits).
- Mixed geometry types are split into one shapefile layer per type.
About GML 3.2
OGC Geography Markup Language, the payload of many WFS services.
- Reader handles simple feature members; complex schemas may need a desktop GIS.
Step by step
How to convert SHP to GML
- 01
Drop your .zip file
Open the converter and drop the Shapefile (zipped) file — parsing happens locally in a Web Worker, so nothing is uploaded.
- 02
Choose GML as the output
Pick GML, reproject to any of 180+ coordinate systems if needed, trim attributes and preview the geometry on a map.
- 03
Download the .gml file
Save a single file, or convert a whole batch and download everything as a ZIP. Nothing is stored after the download.
SHP to GML — questions
Is converting SHP to GML really private?
Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using a Web Worker — the Shapefile (zipped) file is never sent to a server, so it works with confidential data and offline.
Do I need an account to convert SHP to GML?
No. There is no signup, no email and no install. Open the converter, drop the file and download the result.
What happens to attributes and coordinate systems?
Reader handles simple feature members; complex schemas may need a desktop GIS. You can also reproject between 180+ coordinate reference systems or add a custom proj4 definition before writing.
