How to convert WKT to CSV

  1. Add your WKT geometries

    Drop WKT files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. CSV is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the CSV, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The WKT to CSV converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your geometries are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

WKT to CSV: what to expect

WKT carries geometry only, with no names or properties. CSV is plain text that every spreadsheet, database and script can read. WKT is at home in writing a single geometry in a database or script; CSV is the usual choice for moving tabular data between systems.

Every format is read into plain GeoJSON features and written out from there, so coordinates, names and properties carry over wherever the target has a place for them. Each geometry in the file becomes one feature without properties; WKT in a coordinate system other than latitude and longitude is refused. Each point, and each vertex of a line, becomes one row with name, lat and lon columns, plus elevation and time when the data has them. Areas cannot be written as rows, so a file with polygons is refused. Text that starts with =, +, - or @ is escaped so a spreadsheet does not run it as a formula.

WKT vs CSV

WKT

Well-known text geometry

WKT writes a geometry as text, for example POINT (30 10) or POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10)). Spatial databases such as PostGIS use it. It describes shape only, without names or other attributes.

Opens in Text editors, PostGIS, QGIS and GIS libraries

CSV

CSV spreadsheet

CSV is a table written as text: one row per line, values separated by commas. Every spreadsheet and database can import and export it, but it holds one sheet only and no formatting, formulas or data types.

Questions

Are my geometries uploaded anywhere?

No. The WKT to CSV conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting WKT to CSV?

The values are kept. Anything CSV has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.

Can I convert several WKT files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert WKT to CSV on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the WKT file, press Convert and save the CSV. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
