Shapefile Previewer
Open a local shapefile ZIP, choose a layer and inspect its map geometry, coordinate system and attribute records.
Can I open a shapefile ZIP without installing GIS software?
Choose a ZIP containing SHP and related DBF, PRJ and CPG files, then select a layer. The tool validates record alignment and transforms supported projections to WGS84 for the map and GeoJSON export. Missing projection files require an explicit longitude/latitude assumption. Unsupported encodings, deleted records and unknown projections are reported before conversion.
Make sense of your geography.
