What is a Shapefile?

A shapefile is a widely used geospatial vector data format for GIS software that stores points, lines, or polygons with associated attribute data. It’s commonly supported in tools like ArcGIS, QGIS, and desktop GIS applications including Simple GIS Client.


Unlike single file formats, a shapefile is actually multiple linked files — such as .shp, .shx, and .dbf — that work together to represent features and attributes.
