Convert SHP to NDJSON
Turn Shapefile (zipped) into GeoJSON Lines (NDJSON) instantly in your browser. No upload, no account, and no file ever crosses the network.
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 GeoJSON Lines (NDJSON)
One GeoJSON feature per line. Streams well into BigQuery, DuckDB and Athena.
Step by step
How to convert SHP to NDJSON
- 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 NDJSON as the output
Pick NDJSON, reproject to any of 180+ coordinate systems if needed, trim attributes and preview the geometry on a map.
- 03
Download the .ndjson file
Save a single file, or convert a whole batch and download everything as a ZIP. Nothing is stored after the download.
SHP to NDJSON — questions
Is converting SHP to NDJSON 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 NDJSON?
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?
Attributes are carried across into the GeoJSON Lines (NDJSON) output. You can also reproject between 180+ coordinate reference systems or add a custom proj4 definition before writing.
