  • Convert a Shapefile into a GeoPackage:
    ogr2ogr -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.shp
  • Reduce a GeoJSON to features matching a condition:
    ogr2ogr -where 'myProperty > 42' -f GeoJSON path/to/output.geojson path/to/input.geojson
  • Change coordinate reference system of a GeoPackage from `EPSG:4326` to `EPSG:3857`:
    ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:3857 -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.gpkg
  • Convert a CSV file into a GeoPackage, specifying the names of the coordinate columns and assigning a coordinate reference system:
    ogr2ogr -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.csv -oo X_POSSIBLE_NAMES=longitude -oo Y_POSSIBLE_NAMES=latitude -a_srs EPSG:4326
  • Load a GeoPackage into a PostGIS database:
    ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:dbname="database_name" path/to/input.gpkg
  • Clip layers of a GeoPackage file to the given bounding box:
    ogr2ogr -spat min_x min_y max_x max_y -f GPKG path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input.gpkg
