What is a GDB file?
GDB (Geodatabase) is a spatial database format developed by Esri for storing, querying, and managing geospatial data. It can contain vector and raster data, topologies, relationships, and rules in a single logical database structure.
GDBs are used in GIS projects where complex data models and large datasets need to be organized efficiently. They can be either file-based or enterprise-grade databases integrated with ArcGIS tools.
How to open GDB files
GDB files are opened with Esri’s ArcGIS software, including ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro. Some open-source tools like QGIS offer limited support for FileGDB.
You can export data from GDB to SHP, KML, or GeoJSON using GIS software or convert with AnyConv where supported.
