About File Geodatabase
File Geodatabase (FGDB) is Esri's proprietary spatial database format for ArcGIS. It stores multiple feature classes, tables, and rasters in a single folder-based container (a .gdb directory). It is the standard data format for ArcGIS workflows and is widely used by government and enterprise GIS teams.
You might convert from File Geodatabase when sharing data with users who do not have ArcGIS, when migrating to an open-source GIS workflow, or when publishing data to a web mapping platform that expects GeoJSON, Shapefile, or GeoPackage as input.
Frequently asked questions
How do I upload a File Geodatabase?
Compress the .gdb folder as a single ZIP archive and upload the .zip file. The tool reads the geodatabase using the OpenFileGDB driver, which supports read access without an Esri licence.
Are all feature classes in the geodatabase converted?
One feature class is processed per conversion. If your geodatabase contains multiple feature classes, run a separate conversion for each one.
What is the difference between File Geodatabase and Personal Geodatabase?
File Geodatabase (.gdb) is folder-based and supports large datasets. Personal Geodatabase (.mdb) is a Microsoft Access database. This tool converts File Geodatabase only; Personal Geodatabase (.mdb) is not supported.
