Technical note

How SVG and SHP differ in practice

A shapefile is not a single file. It is a set: .shp for the geometry, .shx for the index, .dbf for the attribute table and .prj for the projection, and every piece has to travel with the others or the layer will not open. Two limits also apply on the way in. Attribute field names are truncated to ten characters, and one shapefile holds one geometry type, so mixed points, lines and polygons are written out separately.

Map Data Workflow

Bring files into a GIS

reaConverter takes SVG files to SHP a folder at a time, on your own PC, ready to be added to a GIS project and georeferenced there.

  • Convert a whole folder to SHP in one pass
  • Apply the same settings to every file in the batch
  • 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.

FAQ

SVG to SHP Conversion

What are SVG files?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard vector format that uses the XML markup language and can contain animated or interactive graphics. The SVG format was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization promoting the development and interoperability of web products and offering such products freely. SVG files are supported by most web browsers and can be created with drawing programs or text editors.

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.
