    TopoJSON is compact because it stores shared boundaries once as arcs, but most tools - Leaflet, Mapbox, QGIS, and almost every GeoJSON library - expect plain GeoJSON. This tool reads your TopoJSON, expands the arcs back into full geometries and writes a standard GeoJSON FeatureCollection you can use anywhere.

    Every object in the topology is rebuilt: the arc references are resolved into complete rings and lines, and the quantized coordinates are turned back into normal longitude/latitude positions. If the topology holds several named objects, their features are merged into one FeatureCollection in order.

    Everything runs entirely locally in the browser - your possibly sensitive location data never leaves your device. Honestly framed: the coordinates come back at the precision the TopoJSON stored (its quantization grid), not necessarily the original full precision. An invalid or empty TopoJSON is rejected with a clear message.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop your TopoJSON file.
    2. The conversion runs automatically.
    3. Download the GeoJSON (e.g. for Leaflet).

    Limitations: Converts TopoJSON to a GeoJSON FeatureCollection: the shared arcs are expanded back into full geometries for every object in the topology. Coordinates WGS84. Properties are preserved. An invalid or empty TopoJSON is rejected with a clear error.

    FAQ

    What does it do with the arcs?

    It resolves the shared arc references back into complete rings and lines, rebuilding full standalone geometries for every object.

    Are properties kept?

    Yes, the feature properties stored in the topology are carried over.

    What if there are several objects?

    Their features are merged into one GeoJSON FeatureCollection, in order.

    Is my file uploaded?

    No, the conversion happens entirely locally in the browser; location data never leaves your device.
