Drop in a File Geodatabase, shapefile or another Esri format and get GeoPackage, GeoJSON, GeoParquet, GeoTIFF or ready-made map tiles back.

One file per conversion — zip a File Geodatabase (.gdb folder) or a shapefile with its sidecar files.
The closest open replacement for a File Geodatabase: every layer in one file, coded and range field domains carried into GeoPackage constraints. Opens in QGIS, PostGIS, DuckDB and ArcGIS.
Still the format every system accepts. Long field names are shortened to 10 characters — the report lists every rename.
For web maps and APIs. Reprojected to WGS 84 per the GeoJSON spec, one file per layer.
Leave the 10-character field names and the 2 GB limit behind — one modern file instead of a folder of sidecars.
ArcGIS raster tile packages (Compact Cache V2) become MBTiles tilesets any web-map stack can serve.
Rescue data from Access-era .mdb geodatabases — read without Esri software, with an honest report of what came through.
For analytics: query your layers straight from DuckDB, pandas or Spark.
ArcInfo interchange files from the 90s, back into a format today’s tools can read.
Zip the file (for a File Geodatabase, zip the whole .gdb folder), drop it on the converter at the top of this page, pick a target format such as GeoPackage or GeoJSON, and download the result. No account and no installation — the conversion runs on our servers in Sweden and the files are deleted within the hour.
Compress the .gdb folder into a single zip and upload it. The converter reads it with GDAL’s open-source OpenFileGDB driver — no Esri licence involved — and writes one GeoPackage with every layer; coded and range field domains are carried into GeoPackage constraints. GeoPackage is the closest open equivalent of a File Geodatabase and opens in QGIS, PostGIS, DuckDB and ArcGIS alike.
Yes. QGIS opens File Geodatabases directly, and this converter turns them into GeoPackage, GeoJSON, shapefile or GeoParquet that any GIS or data tool can read — no Esri software anywhere in the chain.
Yes — upload a .tpkx (Compact Cache V2) or a compact tile cache and get an MBTiles tileset back. Keep in mind a tile package contains pre-rendered map imagery, not the underlying GIS data; older V1 .tpk and vector .vtpk packages are declined with an explanation of how to re-export them.
Yes — 3 conversions per hour and 10 per day, with files up to 1 GB. No account, no email address and no upsell inside the tool. We build the OrbGIS web GIS platform and run the converter as a free service, because open formats benefit everyone.
It is processed on our own servers in Sweden and never leaves the EU. The upload is deleted the moment the conversion finishes, the result within an hour, and a delete button removes everything immediately. Jobs don’t survive a server restart — nothing is stored.
It depends on the pair of formats — and we tell you rather than pretend. Every conversion ships with report.json listing per-layer feature counts, field renames, coordinate systems, GDAL warnings and anything that couldn’t be carried over. For example, shapefile shortens field names to 10 characters, and relationship classes are documented but not carried into any output.
Your data shouldn’t decide which software you’re allowed to use. Open formats like GeoPackage work in QGIS, PostGIS, DuckDB — and in ArcGIS too. We tell you exactly what each format preserves instead of pretending every conversion is lossless; formats we can’t convert honestly, we decline with an explanation.
