About
Shapefile Converter
Shapefile Converter is a free online tool that turns KMZ and KML files into ESRI Shapefile packages entirely in the browser. Files never leave the user’s device: nothing is uploaded to a server, and no account is required.
The converter keeps placemark attributes, folder structure, and can write a .prj so the result opens cleanly in QGIS and ArcGIS. It is built for GIS users who need a quick, private format change without installing desktop software or trusting a cloud upload pipeline.
Use it when Google Earth exports need to become shapefiles for desktop GIS, when you want offline-capable conversion after the page loads, or when privacy rules block sending geospatial files to a third-party converter.
