The file becomes a layer: reprojected, drawn, filterable, its attributes open to edit. Nothing is uploaded.
3 Download it
One click on the layer gives you GeoPackage, Shapefile, GeoJSON, CSV, JSON, WKT, WKB or TWKB for the next tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free GIS viewer
What file formats does the free GIS viewer support?
The viewer supports GeoJSON, TopoJSON, CSV/TSV, Excel (.xlsx), Shapefile (as ZIP or loose .shp/.dbf/.prj files), GeoPackage (.gpkg), DXF, KML/KMZ, GPX, GML, FlatGeobuf, GeoParquet, and WKT/WKB. Files with the wrong extension or unusual text encodings are detected automatically, and you can drag and drop multiple files at once.
Can I view DXF / CAD drawings?
Yes. Drop a .dxf file and the viewer renders it on the map with layers, colors, and text, including automatic georeferencing when the drawing declares a coordinate system (Dutch RD drawings use the official RDNAPTRANS2018 transformation). Viewing DXF is free; converting, editing, and re-exporting CAD data is part of the Geocadra platform.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The viewer is completely free and requires no account, no login, and no installation. Just open the page and drop your files.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Can I export data from the viewer?
Yes. You can export in 8+ formats including GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoPackage, CSV, JSON, WKT, WKB, and TWKB. You can optionally apply active filters before export.
What if my layer appears in the wrong location?
Use the CRS Reprojection feature to pick the correct source coordinate system. The viewer supports 8,000+ EPSG codes and repositions the layer instantly.
Can I edit feature attributes?
Yes. Click any feature on the map to open the attribute inspector. You can edit values inline, pick from existing values, or type new ones.
