SHAPE Viewer

Software programs supporting files with SHAPE extension

If our SHAPE Viewer Online did not help you, you have a few more options. One of them is to use software that works with the SHAPE file. Below are some examples of verified applications. By choosing the option to install dedicated software, you will also be able to e.g. edit the SHAPE file and sometimes even convert the SHAPE file.

What are the pros and cons of such a solution?

The first important thing is that you will need to download and install a dedicated application that supports the SHAPE format on your device. In this case, it is not possible to view the SHAPE file online. This solution is more problematic, but also allows for more processing options for the SHAPE file. Below you will find a list of example applications that are dedicated to working with the SHAPE file - for the full list go to SHAPE File Opener

Other ways to view the SHAPE file

If you haven't been able to preview the contents of the SHAPE file yet, or you don't want to install any dedicated programming to handle these files, you can try something else. A lot of file formats contain plain text data or packed data. In this case, it is likely that you will be able to view the contents of SHAPE with a normal "Notepad". This solution does not guarantee that the problem will be solved, but it will often allow you to view the data in the SHAPE file to some extent.

As in the case of Notepad, you can also use the data archiving program. Try to open your file with e.g. Winrar or Winzip. If your SHAPE file belongs to the archived files category, you will see a list of files inside the archive. Go to the information page about the SHAPE file extension. to see what kind of data it contains.
