About MapInfo TAB (TAB)

MapInfo Professional's native format — a bundle of .tab/.dat/.map/.id files.

Worth knowing: Keep the file bundle together (or zip it); one geometry type renders best.

About ESRI Shapefile (SHP)

The long-standing GIS interchange workhorse. A "file" is really a bundle: .shp geometry, .dbf attributes, .shx index and .prj coordinate system — keep them together (or zip them).

Worth knowing: One geometry type per layer; attribute names truncated to 10 characters; 2 GB size ceiling.

How the conversion works

Drop your TAB files (all parts of the bundle, or a zip) above.
We read it locally with GDAL compiled to WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded.
Optionally pick an output coordinate system; official datum grids are applied automatically.
