About this tool
The PixelForge GeoJSON to Shapefile Converter transforms GeoJSON data into a downloadable ZIP archive containing the .shp, .dbf, .shx, and .prj files that make up an ESRI Shapefile. Shapefiles are the most widely used vector data format in traditional GIS software. Converting GeoJSON to Shapefile lets you import web-sourced spatial data into ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD Map 3D, and other desktop GIS platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
The ZIP contains the four mandatory Shapefile components: .shp (geometry), .dbf (attribute table), .shx (index), and .prj (coordinate reference system definition).
The output Shapefile uses WGS84 (EPSG:4326) which matches GeoJSON's default coordinate system. The .prj file encodes this projection.
Yes. The output is a standard ESRI Shapefile readable by all major GIS applications including QGIS, ArcGIS, MapInfo, and GDAL.
Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, and MultiPolygon are all supported. Mixed geometry FeatureCollections may need to be split by type first.
There is no limit imposed by the tool, though ESRI Shapefile format has a 2 GB per component file limit which is rarely encountered in practice.
