What is a SHP file?
SHP (Shapefile) is a geospatial vector data format developed by Esri. It’s widely used in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for mapping and spatial analysis.
A single SHP file is usually accompanied by SHX and DBF files to store geometry and attribute data. Together, they represent points, lines, or polygons for representing locations and shapes.
How to open SHP files
SHP files can be opened using GIS applications like QGIS, ArcGIS, and MapInfo. They often come with related SHX and DBF files needed for proper data display.
Convert SHP to GEOJSON, KML, or CSV using AnyConv or geospatial conversion tools.

What is a DXF file?
DXF stands for Drawing Exchange Format and was created by Autodesk to facilitate data interoperability between AutoCAD and other software. Unlike DWG, DXF is an open format, often used to exchange design data between different CAD tools.
DXF files can store 2D and 3D data and are commonly used in CNC machining, laser cutting, and vector design. Their plain text structure makes them easier to interpret but can result in larger file sizes compared to binary formats.
How to open DXF files
DXF files can be opened with almost any CAD software, including AutoCAD, LibreCAD, SolidWorks, and CorelDRAW. Many vector editors and laser cutting tools also support DXF.
AnyConv makes it easy to convert DXF files to SVG, PDF, or other formats for broader compatibility.
Key facts about DXF
- Full name: Drawing Exchange Format
- Extension: .dxf
- MIME type: application/dxf
- Developed by: Autodesk
- Initial release: 1982
