Frequently asked questions
What file should I upload?▾
A single .zip containing at least .shp and .dbf (.prj recommended for non-WGS84 coordinate systems). Do not upload .shp alone — it needs its sidecars.
Is my shapefile sent to your servers?▾
No. Everything is parsed in your browser using shpjs. Files never leave your device.
My polygons render in the wrong place — why?▾
Your shapefile likely uses a projected coordinate system (UTM, State Plane). Include the .prj file in the zip — we use it to reproject to WGS84.
What is the file size limit?▾
Browser memory is the cap, roughly 20–50 MB practical. For larger files use the signed-in /shapefile tool which streams with web workers.
