Convert SQLite to GeoJSON online
Convert SpatiaLite / SQLite — a single-file spatial database — into GeoJSON, which is the open, web-native JSON format read by Leaflet, Mapbox and virtually every modern GIS tool. Drop your SQLite file below, GeoJSON 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 SQLite to GeoJSON 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 GeoJSON 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.
SQLite vs GeoJSON at a glance
| SQLite | GeoJSON | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use | Single-file spatial database (SpatiaLite) for analysis and apps | Web maps and APIs (Leaflet, Mapbox, D3); human-readable data in git |
| Size on disk | Compact single file; multiple tables/layers | Verbose plain text — the largest of the common formats, but gzips well |
| Attribute support | Full SQL types — query with plain SQL | Flexible JSON properties — nesting and arrays allowed |
| Software support | GDAL, QGIS, plus any SQLite tooling | Every modern GIS tool and every web mapping library |
| Web-friendliness | Not web-native — convert for the browser | Excellent — the native format of web mapping |
Other ways to convert SQLite to GeoJSON
You don't need an online tool for this. If you have GDAL installed, one command does it.
In QGIS (free): open your SQLite via Layer → Add Layer, then right-click the layer → Export → Save Features As… and pick GeoJSON 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 SQLite to GeoJSON converter free?
Partly. Every new account gets three welcome conversions for free, so you can try SQLite to GeoJSON 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 GeoJSON result and it's yours to keep.
What does the GeoJSON output contain?
You get a clean GeoJSON file with your geometry and attributes preserved, ready to open in the tools that read GeoJSON.
Is a SpatiaLite database the same as SQLite?
SpatiaLite is SQLite plus a spatial extension — geometry columns living inside an ordinary .sqlite/.db file. MapGO reads the first spatial table in the file; if you need a different table, export it to its own file first.
Which coordinate system will the GeoJSON output use?
By default the output keeps your source coordinate system; pick EPSG:4326 (WGS84) as the target if you want spec-standard GeoJSON that works immediately in Leaflet, Mapbox and other web libraries. MapGO reprojects during the conversion — no separate step needed.
Can I convert GeoJSON back to SQLite?
Yes — use our GeoJSON to SQLite converter for the reverse direction. MapGO supports conversions in both directions between these formats.
