Convert CSV to Shapefile
A points CSV from a total station or GNSS receiver, but the deliverable has to be a shapefile? Map the coordinate columns, choose the source system, and download a complete ZIP (shp/shx/dbf/prj/cpg) of points ready to open in QGIS or ArcGIS — every step in the browser.

FAQ
- How do I convert CSV to Shapefile?
- Upload the CSV file in the tool above and a summary of its contents appears (points/lines/polygons and attributes). Pick the coordinate system if the file carries none, then hit “Convert & download” — the Shapefile file saves straight to your device.
- Is my file uploaded to a server?
- No — everything runs inside your browser and the file never leaves your device. No sign-up, no usage caps.
- Are attributes, names and elevations preserved?
- Yes, as far as Shapefile allows: names and Z values always pass through, and attribute fields carry over wherever the format has a table — any potential loss is shown explicitly before converting; nothing is dropped silently.
All formats and directions (8 formats in and out) live in the full surveying file format converter.
