GeoJSON Simplify

Local

Simplify GeoJSON vertices with fast (Douglas-Peucker) or topology-preserving mode (no gaps on shared edges) to reduce file size, locally in your browser.

What is it? GeoJSON Simplify reduces vertex counts with Douglas-Peucker simplification to shrink files while keeping the shape.

TL;DR: Simplify GeoJSON with Douglas-Peucker.

How to use

  1. Open a GeoJSON layer.
  2. Set the tolerance.
  3. Download the simplified GeoJSON.

FAQ

How do I choose a tolerance?

Tolerance is in degrees for WGS84 data; start small and increase.

Is it local?

Yes.

Limitations

  • Tolerance is in coordinate units, not meters, for geographic data.
  • Simplify is geometric only.
  • Topology-preserving mode (shared edges stay aligned) is available alongside fast Douglas-Peucker.
