GeoJSON to SVG Converter

Convert GeoJSON to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) for resolution-independent, editable maps. Perfect for logos, print materials, presentations, and web use.

Why SVG?

Resolution Independence

• Scales perfectly to any size without quality loss
• Print-ready at any resolution
• Retina/4K displays look perfect
• Zoom infinitely without pixelation

Editability

• Open in Illustrator, Inkscape, or Figma for advanced editing
• Change colors, strokes, fills after export
• Add text, annotations, logos with design software
• Combine with other graphics easily

Web-Friendly

• Small file sizes for simple maps
• CSS styling — style with CSS in web pages
• JavaScript animation — animate paths and properties
• Inline embedding — paste directly into HTML
• Accessible — screen readers can read SVG content

Use Cases

✅ Logos and branding — Company location maps ✅ Print materials — Brochures, posters, books ✅ Web graphics — Icons, badges, UI elements ✅ Data visualization — Infographics, dashboards ✅ Merchandise — T-shirts, stickers, mugs ✅ Presentations — Slides that scale beautifully

How to Convert

1. Upload your GeoJSON file (drag-and-drop or browse)
2. Preview the map rendering
3. Format is set to SVG automatically
4. Download your vector map

The tool generates clean, optimized SVG markup that works everywhere.

Tips for Best Results

File Size Optimization

• Simplify geometries before export (use GeoJSON Minifier)
• Remove unnecessary attributes from GeoJSON properties
• Merge adjacent polygons when possible
• Use fewer precision digits in coordinates

Design Tips

• Keep it simple — SVG works best for clean, clear maps
• Use solid colors — Avoid complex gradients
• Test at different sizes — Ensure readability when scaled
• Consider stroke-to-fill ratio — Thick strokes can overwhelm small maps

Web Performance

• Inline small SVGs — Embed directly in HTML
• External files for large maps — Link to .svg file
• Lazy load — Load SVG when visible
• Compress — Use SVGO or similar tools for optimization

Technical Details

Projection

• Web Mercator by default (standard for web maps)
• Y-axis flipped so north is up (SVG has Y down by default)
• Coordinates preserved for accurate geographic representation

SVG Structure

<svg viewBox="minX minY width height">
  <path d="M x,y L x,y..." />
  <!-- One path per feature -->
</svg>

Browser Compatibility

• ✅ All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• ✅ IE 9+ (basic support)
• ✅ Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome)

FAQs

Can I edit the SVG after export? Yes! Open it in any vector editor (Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, etc.) to change colors, add text, or modify shapes.

Does SVG support transparency? Yes, SVG natively supports transparent backgrounds and opacity levels.

What's the file size like? SVG files are usually small (a few KB) for simple maps. Complex maps with many features will be larger.

Can I use SVG for print? Absolutely! SVG is resolution-independent and perfect for print at any size.

How do I change colors? In a text editor, find stroke and fill attributes and change the color values. Or use design software for visual editing.

Can I animate SVG maps? Yes! SVG can be animated with CSS or JavaScript. Each path can be individually styled and animated.

Is the conversion lossless? Yes, the geographic data is preserved accurately. Some visual simplification may occur for very complex shapes.
