Source CRSCoordinate system of the input, such as EPSG:4326 or EPSG:3857. A .prj embedded in a Shapefile is read by the importer before this optional transformation.Target CRSCoordinate system written to the output. Use EPSG:4326 for standard GeoJSON and TopoJSON interoperability.TopoJSON quantizationTopology coordinate grid size. Higher values retain more positional precision.100000

Output naming & batch behavior

Filename templateAvailable variables: {output} (converter’s meaningful name), {name}, {target}, {ext}, {index}. Duplicate names receive a safe numeric suffix.

Why use A → B → C?

A pipeline feeds each result directly into the next compatible converter. Use one when the destination needs an intermediate representation or when you want to inspect and normalize that middle format.

JSON → CSV → XLSX turns records into rows before building a workbook.
Markdown → HTML → DOCX resolves markup before creating a document.
SVG → PNG → PDF intentionally flattens vector artwork before placing it on a page.

Only type-compatible next steps are offered. Lossy steps are marked before you run them.

About this conversion

How to convert Zipped Shapefile to TopoJSON

Before you start

Drop one or more Zipped Shapefile files; this format cannot be pasted as plain text.

Accepted: .shp.zip, .zip · application/zip

Choose or drag one or more Zipped Shapefile files onto the drop zone.
Confirm the detected format and adjust the available settings. Mixed-format batches are flagged before conversion.
Select “Convert on this device.” Produces previewable TopoJSON text and a correctly named download.

How this converter behaves

Features and coordinates are parsed locally, transformed only with the explicitly selected CRS, and serialized into the requested geospatial representation.

What happens to your data?

The conversion engine runs in this browser tab. OmniCastConverter has no upload API and never sends your content, file name, or converted result to a server.

Fidelity and limitations

This route is classified as structural. The converter preserves meaning and structure supported by both formats.

Shapefile field names and property types are constrained by DBF. TopoJSON quantization can slightly change coordinates.
Geometry is reprojected only when source and target CRS differ; verify axis order and units for custom definitions.
