GeoJSON viewer

Paste GeoJSON and get a clean preview. If it's huge, we'll still validate it and let you download it — without breaking the page.

Note: very large GeoJSON may render as a base map preview (URL length limits). Download still works.

Preview GeoJSON without installing anything

See what your GeoJSON looks like on a map — no setup needed.

  • Paste FeatureCollection/Feature/Geometry
  • Validate and preview it
  • Download the GeoJSON after sanity-checking

Large GeoJSON note

Very large files may not preview visually, but validation and downloads still work.

  • Static map overlays have URL length limits
  • If your data is huge, preview may fall back to base map—download still works

Fast sanity checks to do before you ship

Swapped coordinates and wrong projections are easy to miss.

  • Confirm coordinates look like lng/lat (not lat/lng swapped)
  • Check the geometry type matches your intent (Polygon vs MultiPolygon)
  • Make sure your data is in WGS84 (EPSG:4326) for web maps

Frequently asked questions

Why is the preview blank sometimes?
Usually the geometry has no valid coordinates, or it's too large for a static overlay URL.
Can I turn this into a real map?
Yes—use MapsMaker and keep the GeoJSON as shapes.
Is this private?
The preview image is a Mapbox URL; don't paste sensitive GeoJSON.
Can I view multiple layers?
This tool previews one GeoJSON at a time—combine layers before pasting if needed.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required. When you’re ready to publish a full map, MapsMaker plans start at $15/month with a free trial.
Do I need to create an account?
No — this tool works without an account. You only need an account when you want to save, publish, or embed a map.
