Technical note

What changes when you convert SHZ to PNG

An SHZ file holds geometry and an attribute table, and nothing at all about appearance. Colours, line weights, fills and labels are properties of the GIS project rather than of the file, which is why the same SHZ looks different in every program that opens it. The PNG render therefore falls back on defaults and will not match the styled map you see in QGIS or ArcGIS. Expect a clean drawing of the geometry rather than a finished cartographic product. SHZ coordinates are positions on the earth, tied to a stated reference system, and each feature carries its own row of attributes. PNG is a picture: the coordinates become pixel positions and the attribute table is dropped entirely. That is fine for illustration and no use as data, so keep the SHZ original if anything downstream needs to query or reproject the features.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see SHZ data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to PNG for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to PNG with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Stamp a text watermark, such as a project name or a date, on every image
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

I had a pile of JPG screenshots that I needed to convert to PNG for a presentation. reaConverter kept every pixel intact. The interface is so straightforward – drag, drop, choose format, and go. No bloat, no ads. Just pure conversion power.

For my game development sprites, I need PNGs with perfect compression. reaConverter lets me fine-tune the color palette and compression level. It even preserves metadata. This is the only converter I trust for my asset pipeline.

I love that reaConverter can convert PDF pages to individual PNGs. I used it to extract images from a scanned document – each page became a high-res PNG with zero loss. It's like magic, but it actually works every time.

I design stickers but could never cleanly resize my PNG logos without pixelation. reaConverter’s PNG-to-SVG tool keeps everything sharp—even when scaling up. My Etsy shop looks way more professional now!

My product photos always come out with messy backgrounds. I use reaConverter to convert them to PNG with transparency – it handles the conversion flawlessly. Then I drop them into my e‑commerce templates. Clean, professional, and so easy!

FAQ

SHZ to PNG Conversion

What are SHZ files?

SHZ is a Shapefile packed into a single ZIP archive. The Shapefile is a very widely used vector format of Esri, but it is really a group of files with the same name: one with the shapes, one with the index, one with the attribute table, one with the coordinate system, and sometimes a few more, and it is easy to lose one of them when copying or sending the data. An SHZ file keeps all of them together in one compressed file, which is smaller, easier to move, and cannot be separated. It holds one map layer, with points, lines, or polygons and their attributes. Recent versions of mapping programs can open and edit such a file directly, without unpacking it.

What are PNG files?

The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
