About GeoPackage (GPKG) Conversion
What is a GeoPackage (.gpkg) file?
A GeoPackage is an OGC-standard SQLite container for geospatial data. It can store multiple vector and raster layers in a single portable file, making it the modern replacement for Shapefiles in many GIS workflows.
Does this tool upload my GPKG file to a server?
No. Your file is opened entirely in your browser using WebAssembly-powered SQLite (sql.js). Nothing ever leaves your device — your data stays 100% private.
Can it handle multi-layer GPKG files?
Yes. The converter reads the gpkg_contents table to discover all vector layers and their feature counts. You can select which layer to export.
What GIS software creates GPKG files?
QGIS (Save As → GeoPackage), ArcGIS Pro (Export Feature Class), PostGIS (pg_dump with GPKG driver), GDAL/OGR (ogr2ogr -f GPKG), and GeoServer all support GeoPackage export.
Is there a feature limit?
The browser-based converter can handle up to 5,000 features per layer. For very large datasets, use QGIS or GDAL/OGR for optimal performance.
