shapefile
A shapefile, also known as an Esri shapefile, is a file format for storing geographic vector data. You can upload shapefiles to Mapbox Studio as vector tilesets that you can use in a custom map style
Shapefiles are composed of several individual files, which should be combined into a single zip
file before uploading. Of these files, Mapbox can read shp
, shx
, dbf
, prj
, and index
files. Any other files you upload in the zip
file will be ignored.
