File Conversion
Convert GeoJSON to SQLite online
Convert GeoJSON — the open, web-native JSON format read by Leaflet, Mapbox and virtually every modern GIS tool — into SpatiaLite / SQLite, which is a single-file spatial database. Drop your GeoJSON file below, SQLite is already selected as the output, and download the result. Everything runs in your browser and the cloud; you never install anything.

Why convert GeoJSON to SQLite with MapGO?
Most online converters take one file and hand back one file. MapGO is built on a real geospatial engine, so a single upload can do more:
- Several outputs in one upload — tick SQLite and any other formats you need; every selected format is delivered from the same file.
- Files up to 5 GB — far beyond the browser-based converters that choke past a few hundred megabytes.
- Reproject while you convert — set a source and target EPSG code and the coordinate system is changed during the conversion, no second tool needed.
- Private by default — files are deleted automatically after 48 hours.
GeoJSON vs SQLite at a glance
| GeoJSON | SQLite | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use | Web maps and APIs (Leaflet, Mapbox, D3); human-readable data in git | Single-file spatial database (SpatiaLite) for analysis and apps |
| Size on disk | Verbose plain text — the largest of the common formats, but gzips well | Compact single file; multiple tables/layers |
| Attribute support | Flexible JSON properties — nesting and arrays allowed | Full SQL types — query with plain SQL |
| Software support | Every modern GIS tool and every web mapping library | GDAL, QGIS, plus any SQLite tooling |
| Web-friendliness | Excellent — the native format of web mapping | Not web-native — convert for the browser |
Other ways to convert GeoJSON to SQLite
You don't need an online tool for this. If you have GDAL installed, one command does it:
ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" output.sqlite input.geojsonIn QGIS (free): open your GeoJSON via Layer → Add Layer, then right-click the layer → Export → Save Features As… and pick SQLite as the format.
The MapGO converter above is for when you don't want to install anything, need to convert to several formats at once, or are handling files too large for a desktop machine — drop the file and download the result.
GeoJSON to SQLite: frequently asked questions
Is the GeoJSON to SQLite converter free?
Yes — new accounts get free conversion credits to start, and every paid plan converts unlimited files within its size limit. There is nothing to install; the whole GeoJSON-to-SQLite conversion runs in the cloud.
Is my data kept private?
Conversion is fully automated and your file is never shared. Files are deleted automatically after 48 hours. Download your SQLite result and it's yours to keep.
What does the SQLite output contain?
You get a clean SpatiaLite / SQLite file with your geometry and attributes preserved, ready to open in the tools that read SQLite.
Does my GeoJSON need to be in WGS84?
The GeoJSON spec (RFC 7946) defines coordinates as WGS84 longitude/latitude, and that is how MapGO reads it by default. If your file uses a different coordinate system, set the source EPSG code in the converter and MapGO applies it before converting.
How do I open the SQLite output?
The result is a SpatiaLite-compatible database: drag it into QGIS to see the layer, or query it with any SQLite client — attributes are regular columns you can filter with SQL.
Can I convert SQLite back to GeoJSON?
Yes — use our SQLite to GeoJSON converter for the reverse direction. MapGO supports conversions in both directions between these formats.
