Felt supports a wide range of geospatial file formats with Upload Anything. Upload vector data like shapefiles and GeoJSON to and with location information, or import directly from .

You can easily upload data by dragging and dropping files directly on your map or by clicking the icon in the section of the toolbar.

Supported file types

Felt supports many raster and vector file formats, up to 5GB in size. Files can be provided in their original format or optionally compressed as .zip, .gz, or .tar.

Vector data

Felt reads most common vector data formats, including:

  • ESRI Shapefile (.shp)

  • GeoJSON (.geojson)

  • GeoPackage (.gpkg)

  • GeoParquet (.parquet)

  • Geodatabase (folder ending in .gdb, must be zipped)

  • KML (.kml) and KMZ (.kmz)

  • GPS formats like .gpx, .tcx, and .fit

  • ArcGIS Layer Packages (.lpk, .lpkx) and Map Packages (.mpk, .mpkx)

A projection must be provided for formats not using a WGS84 projection.

Raster data

Felt can read raster data like aerial and satellite imagery, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), surface temperature measurements in a variety of formats:

  • GeoTIFFs (.tif, .tiff)

  • Raster Geopackages (.gpkg)

  • ASCII grids (.asc, .xyz)

  • Common image formats like PNG and JPEG if an auxiliary World File (.wld, .pnw, .jpw, etc) is provided.

Check out the Uploading Raster Data & Imagery page to learn more.

Spreadsheets

Felt can read geospatial data from tabular file formats like Excel spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx), CSV files (.csv, .tsv, .txt, etc), and Numbers files (.numbers).

Check out the Spreadsheets page to learn more.

Images & PDFs

Felt can overlay images and PDFs on a map. Supported formats include .jpg, .png, .heic, .webp, .svg, .pdf, and many more.

Layer groups

Some file uploads may result in layers with multiple datasets in them. For example, an Excel file with multiple tabs, or a zip file with multiple Shapefiles inside. Read more in Group.

Troubleshooting

See the Troubleshooting page for common upload failures and how to fix them.

Other less-popular formats and

We currently support Drawing eXchange Format .dxf , the 2D file format utilized by AutoCAD's drafting and design services, when exported with geographic coordinates. For instructions on how to export your .dxf for use in Felt, follow along .
