How to Convert GeoJSON to SVG Free, Step by Step
Need an SVG from a GeoJSON? Here is how to convert GeoJSON to SVG, what usually goes wrong, and how to get a file you can use first time.
Why convert GeoJSON to SVG?
An SVG is an XML document describing shapes as coordinates and curves rather than pixels. Resolution independent, editable in a text editor, and the one format every cutter, browser and design tool agrees on.
- Cricut and Silhouette cutting.
- Websites and icons.
- Laser cutting in LightBurn.
- Logos that have to scale.
Where most converters let you down
Plenty of tools will happily take your GeoJSON and give you something back. The trouble is what they give you: many drop properties, swap latitude and longitude, or need a GIS install. You only find out later, when the file will not cut, print, import or open the way you expected.
What you actually want is map data moved between formats with geometry and properties intact. That is the standard this GeoJSON to SVG converter is built to.
How to convert GeoJSON to SVG in 3 steps
- Open the GeoJSON to SVG converter and drop in your GeoJSON.
- Check the result in the preview and adjust the settings if you need to.
- Download the SVG.
Why Veconvert is the better GeoJSON to SVG converter
- See it on a map. Check the data before you download.
- Properties kept. Names and attributes travel with the shapes.
- Merge files. Pick several to combine them.
- Nothing uploaded. Location data stays private.
What happens to your file
A GeoJSON is read in your browser with its geometry and properties, and drawn on a map so you can check it landed in the right place.
The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded: client work, statements and unreleased designs stay on your computer.
Getting the best SVG: mistakes to avoid
- If points appear in the wrong country, the source may have latitude and longitude the other way round.
- Shapefiles need their .shp, .dbf and .prj together; zip them up before uploading.
What it costs
Yes, converting is free: the conversion and checking the result cost nothing, and the work runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. The side-by-side preview on the converter pages comes with a free account. Saving the finished file is paid: $3.49 for one file ($3.99 for a technical file such as DXF, G-code, STL or embroidery) with no account needed, or included in a plan from $6.99 a month.
You see the result before you spend anything, so you only pay for a file you are happy with.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert GeoJSON to SVG?
Drop your GeoJSON into the box at the top of this page and press Convert to SVG. The conversion runs in your browser in a few seconds. Check the result, then download an SVG.
Will the SVG open in Illustrator, Inkscape and Cricut Design Space?
Yes. The file is a standard SVG, written to the format’s specification, and opens in Illustrator, Inkscape and Cricut Design Space and other software that reads SVG.
Why does my SVG look blurry?
An SVG made of paths cannot blur. A blurry one is usually a picture wrapped in an SVG tag, or a trace of a very small source. Every SVG made here is paths only; start from the largest version of your image for the cleanest result.
Can I change the colours or remove the background?
Yes. Once the result is ready you can recolour any colour, delete a colour with its shapes, or remove the background, and every download format follows.
Can I use the SVG commercially?
Yes. The file is yours to use on products you sell and for client work, as long as you have the rights to the picture you converted.
