FAQ
ISH to SHP Conversion
What are ISH files?
ISH is an archaic bitmap image format associated with Image Speeder and Image System — two image processing programs which have been long discontinued. In case you found such a file on your hard-drive or were sent one, it is probably very old and will be difficult to open. For best results, we recommend converting it to a more widely used format.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
