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 KMZ file?
KMZ is a compressed version of a KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file, used to store geographic data and annotations. It may include additional media like images and 3D models.
KMZ files are often used with Google Earth and GIS software to visualize places, paths, and layers. Being zipped, they offer smaller file sizes and better portability than KML.
How to open KMZ files
KMZ files can be opened with Google Earth and various GIS tools like ArcGIS or QGIS. They are zipped KML files and often include supporting images or 3D content.
Use AnyConv to convert KMZ to KML, GPX, or extract embedded content for further use.
Key facts about KMZ
- Full name: Keyhole Markup Zipped
- Extension: .kmz
- MIME type: application/vnd.google-earth.kmz
