IIM to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are IIM files?
The IIM format is also known as an Inshape graphics format and represents an archaic type of bitmap image. As the software it is associated with has long been discontinued, such an image is uncommon and probably difficult to open. For easier access, we recommend converting it to a more widely used format, such as JPG or PNG.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
