Shapefile is a vector GIS format, so it isn't always the format the next tool expects. Converting it to CSV lets you open the attributes in Excel or a spreadsheet without redrawing or re-collecting anything. Because GISConverter runs a full GDAL engine in your browser, the geometry and attributes carry across faithfully, and the file never leaves your device.
Shapefile (.shp): The Shapefile is the long-standing Esri vector format and remains the lingua franca of desktop GIS. A single “shapefile” is really a set of files that must travel together — at minimum .shp (geometry), .dbf (attributes) and .shx (index), usually with a .prj that records the coordinate system.
CSV (.csv): CSV is the universal spreadsheet exchange format: rows of plain-text values that open in Excel, Google Sheets or any text editor. For mapping, a CSV becomes spatial when it carries coordinate columns — typically latitude/longitude, or an X/Y pair — that a GIS can turn into points.
Yes. GISConverter is completely free and runs in your browser — no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit.
No. Your Shapefile file is read and converted locally on your device with a GDAL engine compiled to WebAssembly, so it never leaves your computer.

A shapefile is really several files (.shp, .dbf, .shx, .prj) that must stay together, so GISConverter bundles them into a single .zip for download — and reads a zipped shapefile the same way on input.
Yes. Output defaults to EPSG:4326 (WGS84 longitude/latitude). Enter any EPSG code, such as EPSG:3857, in the coordinate-system box to reproject on the way out.
