[?]What do I upload — the .shp alone?
The ZIP containing the set: at minimum .shp (geometry) and .dbf (attributes). A lone .shp converts geometry-only in most tools, but attributes are usually the point — zip the set.
[?]Will coordinates be reprojected to lon/lat?
No — and that's stated openly: coordinates pass through untouched, so output is correct when the source is already geographic (true for the vast majority of shared extracts). Projected sources (metre grids) need a desktop reprojection first.
[?]Which shape types are supported?
Points, polylines, polygons and multipoints including Z/M variants (Z/M dropped, XY kept). Null shapes and exotic MultiPatch are skipped rather than corrupting output.
[?]Is my geospatial data uploaded anywhere?
No. Unzipping, both binary parsers and the join run entirely inside your browser — location data stays yours.
[?]Why convert from ZIP to GEOJSON?
ZIP Document (ZIP) and GEOJSON Document (GEOJSON) serve distinct roles across the digital workflow. Converting to GEOJSON provides optimized compatibility, modern compression efficiency, or standardized playback across web browsers, operating systems, and media production environments.
[?]Is the ZIP to GEOJSON conversion lossless or lossy?
The output format (GEOJSON) is inherently lossless or supports lossless operation. Your original visual or audio fidelity is mathematically preserved without quantization artifacts.
[?]Does convrtr upload my files to any cloud server?
Never. convrtr is architected with a strict zero-upload model. All processing, decoding, decompression, and encoding happen 100% locally on your machine using sandboxed WebAssembly and Web Workers. Your data never touches an external server, database, or analytics collector.
[?]How can I convert ZIP to GEOJSON from the terminal / command line?
You can execute this conversion locally via command-line utilities such as ffmpeg, cwebp, or ImageMagick. For example: see the developer terminal recipe provided in the technical specifications dossier above. convrtr provides the identical local-first capability directly inside your browser without installing CLI packages.
[?]Can I batch convert multiple ZIP files to GEOJSON simultaneously?
Yes. You can drop multiple .zip files into the instrument to process them concurrently in browser Web Workers, or click 'Open in Master Studio' to queue mixed formats, configure individual targets, and export as a single ZIP archive.
