Shapefile Viewer

Inspect the layers, geometry types, fields, bounds, feature counts, and CRS evidence in a zipped Shapefile without uploading it.

Input

Drop a zipped Shapefile here, or

Choose a .zip containing .shp, .shx, and .dbf files. A .prj is required before the tool will claim a coordinate reference system.

Understanding Shapefile Viewer

Features, layers and visual encoding

Inspect the layers, geometry types, fields, bounds, feature counts, and CRS evidence in a zipped Shapefile without uploading it.

Shapefile Viewer turns spatial features into a map layer. Geometry controls placement; properties can control labels, categories, symbol size or other visual choices without changing the source records.

How to read the map

Choose a .zip containing .shp, .shx, and .dbf files. A .prj is required before the tool will claim a coordinate reference system.

Use Shapefile Viewer to inspect patterns and obvious placement problems, then verify important records and properties directly. Display scale, zoom and styling can hide overlap or make small differences look more significant.
