Convert 001 to AI

Online GIS converters cap file size and need an upload. reaConverter converts 001 to AI locally, whatever the size of the dataset.

Manual 001 to AI conversion wastes hours. reaConverter automates the process — just add files and click Convert. Everything happens offline on your computer. No uploads, no cloud risks. No command line and no scripting, unlike the usual ogr2ogr route.

Step by step

How It Works

reaConverter offers the fastest, simplest solution for converting your 001 files into AI without GIS software - all files processed on your PC for maximum privacy and speed.

Technical note

How 001 and AI differ in practice

A .001 file is not a chart on its own but an update to one. An electronic navigational chart starts as a .000 base cell, and each numbered file after it records the corrections issued since. Converted alone, an update contains only those edits. To get the current chart, convert the .000 base cell with its updates in the same folder. AI keeps the geometry as vector paths, so lines and boundaries stay sharp at any zoom, but the map becomes a drawing. Coordinates turn into positions on the page, the attribute table is left behind, and a standard AI records nothing about where on earth the drawing lies. 001 carries no styling either, so colours and line weights fall back on defaults rather than matching the map in your GIS.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see 001 data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to AI for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to AI with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.
