Convert GeoPackage to CSV Online — Free & Instant
Exporting GeoPackage data to CSV makes it accessible in Excel, Google Sheets, and data science tools like pandas and R. This is useful for sharing attribute data from QGIS or ArcGIS Pro projects with non-GIS users, or for loading spatial data into BI tools like Tableau or Power BI. Maparz exports X and Y geometry columns alongside all attribute data.

About GeoPackage
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.
Strengths
- +Single file containing multiple layers
- +No field name length limit
- +Supports vector and raster in one file
- +SQLite-based — portable and queryable
About CSV
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files containing geometry data typically include latitude and longitude columns (or X/Y columns for projected data). Many data providers distribute point datasets as CSV because they are easy to open in Excel, Python, and R. When converting from a vector format to CSV, Maparz outputs an X (longitude) and Y (latitude) column along with all attribute data. To convert CSV to GeoJSON, your file must have columns identifiable as longitude (x, lon, lng, longitude) and latitude (y, lat, latitude).
Strengths
- +Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, any spreadsheet
- +Human-readable and editable
- +Lightweight for point data
Frequently asked questions
Q.Which layer is exported if the GeoPackage has multiple?
The first vector layer in the GeoPackage is exported. For specific layers, use QGIS or ogr2ogr locally with the layer name option.
Q.Is CSV suitable for polygon GeoPackage data?
CSV is best for point data. For polygon or line GeoPackage layers, GeoJSON or Shapefile will better preserve the geometry.
