Click download to save the converted .geojson file, or copy the output text. That's it — no account, no watermark, no limits.
WKT (Well-Known Text) is the OGC standard text representation of geometry — POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON and their multi- variants — used throughout spatial databases like PostGIS, MySQL and SQL Server, and in SQL queries. It describes geometry only, one shape per line, which makes it perfect for pasting features into a database or pulling geometry out of one.
Need the other direction instead? GeoJSON is the open standard for encoding geographic data in JSON. GeoJSON is an open standard (RFC 7946) for representing geographic features — points, lines and polygons — together with their attributes as plain JSON. It's the lingua franca of modern web mapping: readable by virtually every GIS tool, library (Leaflet, Mapbox GL, OpenLayers, deck.gl) and programming language out of the box. Its simplicity and human-readability make it the natural hub format to convert to and from.
WKT encodes geometry only — feature attributes/properties are not part of the format and are dropped on conversion to WKT.

WKT to GeoJSON — FAQ
- How do I convert WKT to GeoJSON?
- Upload your .wkt file using the converter above (drag & drop or click to browse). GeoMaps converts it to GeoJSON instantly in your browser and gives you a .geojson file to download. No software to install and no signup required.
- Is the WKT to GeoJSON converter free?
- Yes — it's completely free with no usage limits, watermarks or account needed. We offer it as a free tool from GeoMaps, the platform for turning your data into interactive maps.
- 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 GeoJSON back to WKT?
- Yes. Use our GeoJSON to WKT converter for the reverse conversion — every format on GeoMaps converts both ways.
- Anything to know about WKT input?
- WKT encodes geometry only — feature attributes/properties are not part of the format and are dropped on conversion to WKT.
- 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.
