Tip: Turn a spreadsheet with latitude/longitude columns into a proper GIS layer. Each column becomes a typed attribute field, and the points are stored in WGS 84 (EPSG:4326).
CSV (comma-separated values) is the universal spreadsheet and database interchange format, opened by Excel, Google Sheets, and every data tool. For mapping it carries one record per row with latitude and longitude columns (plus any attributes). It's the simplest way to get tabular location data onto a map, or to pull mapped data back into a spreadsheet for analysis.
Need the other direction instead? GeoPackage is the OGC's single-file GIS format, and QGIS's default. GeoPackage (.gpkg) is an open OGC standard that stores vector layers, attribute tables and map tiles in a single SQLite database file. It's the default save format in QGIS and is read by ArcGIS Pro, GDAL and most modern GIS software. Unlike a shapefile, one GeoPackage can hold many layers, has no 10-character limit on field names, and keeps everything in one file instead of a bundle of sidecar files.
CSV is row-based and point-centric: each row needs latitude/longitude columns. Lines and polygons are written to a geometry column as WKT rather than as drawn shapes.
The GeoPackage is written as one layer in WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), with attribute types (text, integer, decimal) detected from your data.

- Is my data private? Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript — your file is never uploaded to any server. Because nothing leaves your device, it's safe for sensitive or confidential data and works even offline once the page has loaded.
- Can I convert GeoPackage back to CSV?
- Yes. Use our GeoPackage to CSV converter for the reverse conversion — every format on GeoMaps converts both ways.
- Anything to know about CSV input?
- CSV is row-based and point-centric: each row needs latitude/longitude columns. Lines and polygons are written to a geometry column as WKT rather than as drawn shapes.
- Anything to know about GeoPackage output?
- The GeoPackage is written as one layer in WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), with attribute types (text, integer, decimal) detected from your data.
- How large a file can I convert?
- Because conversion happens in your browser, the limit is your device's memory rather than a server quota — files up to tens of megabytes convert comfortably on a typical laptop. Very large datasets may be slower depending on your machine.
