FAQ
MAC to SHP Conversion
What are MAC files?
The MAC extension stands for bitmap images associated with the MacPaint program developed by Apple MacIntosh. MAC images only support a monochrome (black and white) color rendering, are not scalable and have a modest resolution of 75 dpi. However, they are quick to download and decompress. MAC files can also be found under the PNTG extension on Mac computers and they are frequently used for clip art or monochrome graphics.
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.
