How It Works

Convert your files in three simple steps

1

Open CSV to Shapefile Tool

Access the GIS converter for turning spreadsheets into spatial data layers.

2

Upload Coordinate CSV

Select your .csv file. Ensure it contains columns for Latitude and Longitude.

3

Map Spatial Columns

Identify which columns contain X and Y coordinates and set the data types.

4

Choose Projection (CRS)

Select the Coordinate Reference System (e.g., WGS84) for mapping accuracy.

5

Build Shapefile

Process the CSV to create the .shp, .shx, and .dbf files required for GIS.

6

Download SHP ZIP

Save the zipped Shapefile, ready to be imported into QGIS or ArcGIS.

Upload your CSV containing Latitude and Longitude columns. Our tool will generate a GIS-compatible Shapefile, creating points for every location in your data.

By default, the tool uses the WGS84 (EPSG:4326) coordinate system, which is the standard for GPS data and is compatible with almost all mapping software.

Our tool is smart enough to recognize common names like 'lat', 'lon', 'latitude', and 'longitude'. If it finds them, it will map the data automatically.

Yes. All non-coordinate columns in your CSV are preserved as attributes in the Shapefile’s .dbf component, so your metadata stays with your spatial points.

Yes, Shapefiles can easily be exported back to CSV using GIS software or other online tools. Our tool ensures the data is correctly structured for future use.

Yes. The Shapefiles generated by FileTailored are standard-compliant and can be opened immediately in QGIS, ArcGIS, and other geospatial platforms.

Yes, our engine is designed to handle large datasets, allowing you to convert massive spreadsheets of coordinates into usable GIS layers in seconds.

Absolutely. We treat all GIS data with high security. Your files are encrypted during upload and deleted from our servers once your Shapefile is ready.
