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.
