GeoPackage (.gpkg) to CSV Converter
What is a GeoPackage (.gpkg)?
GeoPackage (.gpkg) is a modern, open standard format for geospatial data developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). It's designed as a lightweight, cross-platform, SQLite-based container for geographic information systems (GIS) data.
While GeoPackage offers many advantages for GIS professionals, its database structure can make it challenging to analyze without specialized software. Our converter transforms GeoPackage data into simple CSV spreadsheets that you can open with Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet software.
Why Convert GeoPackage to CSV?
- Accessibility: Work with geospatial data without specialized GIS software
- Data Analysis: Perform statistical analysis on geographic data using familiar spreadsheet tools
- Integration: Import location data into business intelligence tools, databases, or custom applications
- Sharing: Share geospatial data with colleagues who don't have GIS expertise
- Simplification: Break down complex GeoPackage databases into simpler, tabular formats
GeoPackage Advantages
GeoPackage has become increasingly popular due to several key advantages:
- Single-file format: Unlike Shapefiles which require multiple files, GeoPackage stores everything in one file
- Multiple data types: Can store vector features, raster tiles, and attributes in a single file
- Efficient storage: Supports both spatial indices and attribute indices for better performance
- No size limitations: Overcomes the 2GB size limitation of Shapefiles
- Cross-platform: Based on SQLite, making it usable on virtually any operating system
- Open standard: Developed by OGC as a vendor-neutral, interoperable format
Our converter extracts both geometric features and their associated attributes from the GeoPackage and organizes them into a straightforward CSV structure.
Pro Tip: You can transform the CRS (Coordinate Reference System) of your data during the conversion process. This is useful if you need to align your data with other datasets or if you want to convert it to a more common CRS like WGS84 (EPSG:4326).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the converter handle raster data in GeoPackages?
While GeoPackages can store both vector and raster data, our converter currently focuses on vector features (points, lines, polygons) and their attributes. Raster data (like imagery or elevation models) is not included in the CSV output as it's not suited for tabular representation.
Is there a file size limit for conversion?
Since all processing happens in your browser, the practical limit depends on your device's memory. Most modern browsers can handle files up to 200MB without issues. For larger GeoPackages, contact us for assistance.
How are spatial relationships preserved in the CSV?
The converter extracts coordinates for each feature. For points, this results in simple latitude/longitude columns. For more complex geometries like polygons and lines, the converter creates rows for each vertex with ID fields to maintain relationships. All attributes from the GeoPackage are preserved as columns in the CSV.
How do I create a GeoPackage?
GeoPackages can be created and edited using modern GIS software like QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, or programming libraries like GDAL, OGR, or GeoTools. Many GIS applications now offer GeoPackage as an export option. If you have data in another format, consider converting it to GeoPackage first for better organization before converting to CSV.
