Shapefile Tools
The Esri Shapefile (.shp) is still the most widely shared vector GIS format despite being three decades old. A single shapefile is actually a bundle of 3–7 files (.shp, .shx, .dbf, often .prj, .cpg, .qix, .sbn) — which is why our tools accept a zipped folder.
This page lists every Shapefile-aware tool on QuickMapTools: viewers, geometry operations, repair and reprojection, and converters to modern formats. All processing runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to zip a Shapefile?
A Shapefile is really 3–7 files that must travel together. The browser only lets you upload one file at a time, so we accept a .zip containing all the sidecar files.
Can I view a Shapefile online without ArcGIS or QGIS?
Yes — drop your zipped Shapefile into the Shapefile Viewer above and it renders on an interactive map. No software install.
What is the modern alternative to Shapefile?
GeoPackage (.gpkg) is the modern OGC standard — single file, multi-layer, no 2GB or attribute-length limits, and supported by every modern GIS. Use the Shapefile to GeoPackage converter to migrate.
My Shapefile is missing a .prj file. Will it still work?
It will load, but coordinates won't reproject correctly without a known CRS. Use Repair Shapefile to assign a projection before further processing.
