ogr2ogr

Convert geospatial vector data between file formats. More information: https://gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr.html.

• Convert a Shapefile into a GeoPackage:

ogr2ogr -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.shp

• Reduce a GeoJSON to features matching a condition:

ogr2ogr -where 'myProperty > 42' -f GeoJSON path/to/output.geojson path/to/input.geojson

• Change coordinate reference system of a GeoPackage from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:3857:

ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:3857 -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.gpkg

• Convert a CSV file into a GeoPackage, specifying the names of the coordinate columns and assigning a coordinate reference system:

ogr2ogr -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.csv -oo X_POSSIBLE_NAMES=longitude -oo Y_POSSIBLE_NAMES=latitude -a_srs EPSG:4326

• Load a GeoPackage into a PostGIS database:

ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:dbname="database_name" path/to/input.gpkg

• Clip layers of a GeoPackage file to the given bounding box:

ogr2ogr -spat min_x min_y max_x max_y -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.gpkg
