FAQ
TUB to SHP Conversion
What are TUB files?
The TUB format is associated with Corel PaintShop Pro, which is one of the most popular programs used for advanced image editing and drawing. TUB files are also known as "picture tubes" and represent basic images with no background that can be used for creating more complex images. TUBs are probably impossible to open outside PaintShop, so in case you don't have it installed, the best option is to have them converted to more accessible formats.
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.
