About GeoPackage format
GeoPackage (GPKG) is a modern, open standard format defined by the OGC that stores geospatial data in a single SQLite database file. It supports both vector and raster data, multiple layers per file, field name lengths up to 64 characters, and virtually any coordinate reference system. GeoPackage is endorsed by the OGC as the preferred replacement for Shapefile. It is supported by QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, GDAL, and PostGIS. Its SQLite base makes it portable and queryable without a server.

Frequently asked questions
Q.What is GeoPackage and how is it different from Shapefile?
GeoPackage is a single SQLite file that supports long field names, multiple geometry types, and multiple layers. Shapefile requires several companion files, limits field names to 10 characters, and supports only one geometry type per file.
Q.Can Maparz convert a GeoPackage with multiple layers?
Maparz converts the first layer in the GeoPackage. To convert a specific layer, open the file in QGIS, right-click the layer, and export it as a single-layer GeoPackage before uploading.
Q.How large can a GeoPackage file be for upload?
Maparz accepts files up to 50 MB. GeoPackage files can technically be several GB — filter to your area of interest before uploading for online conversion.
