Documentation
Everything you need to know about using the GeoXY coordinate converter.
Quick Start
Need to convert coordinates right now? Here's the fastest way: head to the Converter page, pick your source datum (the system your coordinates are in), enter your values, choose a target datum like WGS84, and hit Convert. That's it — your transformed coordinates appear instantly. For bulk work, switch to the Batch tab and paste as many rows as needed.
Want to see your points on a map or check their elevation? Run a batch conversion first, then use the Map and Elevation tools.
How do I get started with GeoXY?
Open the Converter
Navigate to the Converter page. You'll see two tabs: Single and Batch.
Select Datums
Choose your source datum (the coordinate system your data is in) and target datum (what you want to convert to).
Enter Coordinates
Type or paste your coordinates. The input format buttons (DD, DMS, UTM) change how you enter values.
Convert
Click the Convert button. The result appears in the output panel, where you can also switch formats.
How do I select a datum?
Source Datum
The current coordinate system of your data. Select from 246 datums organized by country/region.
Target Datum
The desired output coordinate system. WGS84 is the global standard for most modern applications.
Swap Button
Quickly swap source and target datums to reverse a conversion.
Native Format
Each datum has a native format. Geographic datums default to DD, projected datums to their projected format.
What coordinate formats are supported?
DD (Decimal Degrees)
Latitude and longitude in decimal format, e.g., 21.4225, 39.8262.
DMS (Degrees/Minutes/Seconds)
Degrees, minutes, and seconds, e.g., 21°25'21"N 39°49'34"E.
UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator)
Easting, northing, and zone number. Zone auto-detects from the datum's coverage area.
Projected
For projected datums like Egypt Red Belt or Aramco Lambert. Uses the datum's native projected coordinates.
How do I convert multiple coordinates at once?
Paste Data
Paste tab-separated or comma-separated coordinates. No hard row limit.
Column Layout
Specify whether columns are easting-northing or lat-lon to match your data format.
Run Conversion
All rows are processed at once. Invalid rows show an error message instead of failing the whole batch.
Copy Results
Copy the converted results to clipboard for use in your GIS software or spreadsheet.
Can I visualize coordinates on a map?
View on Map
After batch conversion, click View Map to plot all points on an interactive MapLibre map.
Elevation Profiles
Fetch elevation data for your points. Elevations are sampled from Copernicus GLO-30 (30m) by default, with an SRTM fallback when no data is found. Points are color-coded by elevation.
Intermediate Points
Generate intermediate points along a path or within an area grid for detailed elevation profiling.
Contours
Generate contour lines from elevation data for terrain analysis.
How do I make a cross-section?
Open the Map
Open the Map card and enable the Sections tool on the map toolbar.
Draw the cut line
Click along your survey path on the map to draw the cut line you want to profile.
Finish the Section
Press Finish Section to sample ground elevations along the line at the configured interval.
View the profile
The profile chart opens in the Sections card, showing elevation vs. distance along the section.
Export
Export the section as DXF, CSV, KML, or GeoJSON from the Sections card.
What are the keyboard shortcuts?
Tab / Shift+Tab
Navigate between input fields and controls.
Enter
Trigger the Convert or Run Conversion button.
Escape
Close modals, dismiss toasts, or cancel operations.

Where does the elevation data come from?
Elevations are sampled from Copernicus GLO-30 (30m resolution, ESA / AWS Open Data) by default, with an AWS SRTM (30m) fallback for any location Copernicus has no data for. Both are free, global-coverage elevation sources fetched directly in the browser, so no elevation data is stored or sent to our servers.
How do I convert coordinates with GeoXY?
Select your source datum, enter your coordinates in DD, DMS, or UTM format, choose your target datum, and click Convert. The result appears instantly in the output panel.
How many coordinates can I convert in a batch?
GeoXY supports batch conversion with no hard row limit. You can paste tab-separated or comma-separated data, choose your column layout, and convert everything in one click.
