GeoUnpackAn .lpk file is a compressed package that holds a layer's data (usually a file geodatabase) and its styling. GeoUnpack unpacks it and exports the data as a zipped Shapefile you can open in QGIS, AutoCAD Map 3D, Global Mapper or any GIS.
How to use it
- Drop the .lpk or .lpkx file into the box.
- Select the layer (Preview shows it on a map).
- Keep 'SHP (Shapefile)' selected and click Convert & download.

FAQ
Can I just rename the .lpk to .zip?
Often yes. An .lpk is a 7-Zip archive. You can extract it with 7-Zip and load the .gdb folder in QGIS. GeoUnpack does the same in one step, and also converts the data if you don't have QGIS.
Will the symbology be kept?
No. Shapefiles store geometry and attributes only. Colors, labels and symbols from the .lyr/.lyrx file are not converted.
Why are some field names shortened?
The Shapefile format limits field names to 10 characters and can truncate very large numbers. If exact values matter, export to GeoPackage or GeoJSON instead.
