    Free online GIS tools

    16 small, focused tools for the jobs that interrupt real geospatial work: opening a file somebody emailed you, converting between formats, checking whether the data is actually valid, and measuring what is in it. Every one runs entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

    Viewers

    Open a spatial file and see it on a map, without installing anything.

    Converters

    Move data between the formats GIS, web maps and spreadsheets each insist on.

    Analysis & checks

    Measure, validate and reduce your data before it reaches production.

    Why these run in the browser

    Most online converters upload your file to a server, process it there, and hand back a download. That is a problem when the data is a client's property portfolio, an unreleased zoning proposal or anything covered by a data-sharing agreement. Every tool here parses and renders locally using the browser's own JavaScript engine, so the file never leaves your machine — you can confirm it by watching the network tab. It also means there are no queues, no file-size quotas beyond your own memory, and the tools keep working offline once the page has loaded.

    When a tool is not enough

    These are deliberately single-purpose. The moment you need to keep a dataset, style it by attribute, join it to a spreadsheet of records, share a link with a client or update it on a schedule, you need a workspace rather than a converter. That is what the main GeoDataMapper platform does: upload shapefiles and CSVs, build property and zoning layers, run 3D and heatmap visualisations, and share a live map instead of emailing files back and forth.
