Supported formats¶
GeoJibe converts with a pinned spatial runtime (GDAL). The Convert list shows common formats first, then other writable drivers the runtime discovered.
This page is not a dump of every GDAL driver. If a format appears in Convert on your server, that runtime can write it.
Open Help → Docs in the app (Supported Formats) for the live catalog from the same runtime.
Common vector output¶
| Format | Typical extension | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GeoPackage | .gpkg |
Good default. May contain several layers |
| GeoJSON | .geojson |
One layer, web-friendly |
| ESRI Shapefile | .shp |
Needs companion files; several layers become a ZIP |
| FlatGeobuf | .fgb |
|
| KML | .kml |
|
| GML | .gml |
|
| CSV | .csv |
|
| DXF | .dxf |
Common raster output¶
| Format | Typical extension |
|---|---|
| GeoTIFF | .tif |
| COG | .tif |
| PNG | .png |
| JPEG | .jpg |
| JPEG2000 | .jp2 |
| MBTiles | .mbtiles |
| WEBP | .webp |
Common input¶
Anything the runtime can read can be uploaded or imported — including the table above, plus many GIS formats. Inspect tells you Format, Type (vector or raster), and Layers.
Formats that are several files¶
Shapefile is .shp + .shx + .dbf (and usually .prj). Zip them and upload the ZIP. Missing companions → The Shapefile is incomplete.
A ZIP must contain one spatial dataset.
Multi-layer formats¶
GeoPackage may contain several layers.
| Destination | What is published |
|---|---|
| Download, S3, SFTP | The converted file (possibly still multi-layer) |
| Convert to a single-layer format | One file per layer, often zipped |
| GeoServer, GeoNode | One layer — you choose Layer to publish |
| PostGIS | One table; no layer picker |
Destination limits¶
PostGIS, GeoServer, and GeoNode accept vector results. GeoServer and GeoNode always publish a GeoPackage for that one layer, even if you converted to something else first.
S3, SFTP, and Download store whatever Convert produced, including rasters.
