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.

STEP 01

Upload your file

Drag and drop it into the converter below — no account needed to start.

STEP 02

Convert in the cloud

MapGO detects the format and produces your download in seconds.

STEP 03

Download & keep it

Files are deleted automatically after 48 hours.

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 defaultfiles are deleted automatically after 48 hours.

SQLite vs GeoJSON at a glance

SQLiteGeoJSON
Typical useSingle-file spatial database (SpatiaLite) for analysis and appsWeb maps and APIs (Leaflet, Mapbox, D3); human-readable data in git
Size on diskCompact single file; multiple tables/layersVerbose plain text — the largest of the common formats, but gzips well
Attribute supportFull SQL types — query with plain SQLFlexible JSON properties — nesting and arrays allowed
Software supportGDAL, QGIS, plus any SQLite toolingEvery modern GIS tool and every web mapping library
Web-friendlinessNot web-native — convert for the browserExcellent — 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:

ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" output.geojson input.sqlite

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 — drop the file and download the result.

SQLite to GeoJSON: frequently asked questions

Is the SQLite to GeoJSON 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 SQLite-to-GeoJSON 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.
