Convert GPKG to SQLite online
Convert GeoPackage — the modern OGC SQLite-based container that stores multiple layers in a single file and is replacing the shapefile — into SpatiaLite / SQLite, which is a single-file spatial database. Drop your GPKG 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.
Upload your file
Drag and drop it into the converter below. A free account comes with three welcome conversions.
Convert in the cloud
MapGO detects the format and produces your download in seconds.

Why convert GPKG 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.
GPKG vs SQLite at a glance
| GPKG | SQLite | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use | The modern default for storing and exchanging GIS layers (QGIS standard) | Single-file spatial database (SpatiaLite) for analysis and apps |
| Size on disk | Compact single .gpkg file; many layers in one database | Compact single file; multiple tables/layers |
| Attribute support | Full database types, long column names, spatial indexes | Full SQL types — query with plain SQL |
| Software support | QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, GDAL — all current GIS software | GDAL, QGIS, plus any SQLite tooling |
| Web-friendliness | Not web-native — convert to GeoJSON or FlatGeobuf for the browser | Not web-native — convert for the browser |
Other ways to convert GPKG to SQLite
You don't need an online tool for this. If you have GDAL installed, one command does it.
In QGIS (free): open your GPKG 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.

Is the GPKG to SQLite converter free?
Partly. Every new account gets three welcome conversions for free, so you can try GPKG to SQLite without paying. After that, you can either buy a credit pack and pay per conversion, or take a subscription, which gives you unlimited conversions within the plan's file-size limit. There is nothing to install; the whole 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.
My GeoPackage contains several layers — which one gets converted?
MapGO converts the first vector layer in the file. If you need a different layer, export it to its own GeoPackage in QGIS (right-click the layer → Export) and upload that — multi-layer selection is on the roadmap.
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 GPKG?
Yes — use our SQLite to GPKG converter for the reverse direction. MapGO supports conversions in both directions between these formats.
