How It Works

1. Import data

Upload single or multiple vector files. Shapefiles must be .zip archives with .shp, .shx, and .dbf. DXF files use UTM Zone 44N by default for AP survey data.

2. Visualize & inspect

Layers auto-zoom to extent. Open the attribute table per layer, click rows to zoom to features, and copy popup attributes. Large point datasets use automatic clustering.

3. Analyze & export

Measure distances and areas, draw annotations, save map bookmarks, and export layers as GeoJSON, KML, CSV, or GPX. Export the full map as PNG or combine all layers into one GeoJSON file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Technical Surveyor's online GIS viewer is free — open shapefiles, KML, GeoJSON, GPX, and DXF in your browser with no software install.

How do I open a shapefile online?

Zip your .shp, .shx, and .dbf files together, upload the .zip, and the map displays automatically. You can measure, inspect attributes, and export layers.

What is the best shapefile viewer online free for surveyors?

This viewer is built for AP land survey and resurvey GIS work — multi-layer support, UTM CRS override for DXF, and no server upload of your parcel data.

Can I view SHP files without QGIS?
