Best free EUDR GeoJSON tools (2026)
You do not need an enterprise platform to get supplier geodata into TRACES. Here are the free tools worth knowing, grouped by the job they actually do — validating, converting, or fixing — with the catch for each.
Fix your file — freeEUDR is mandatory for medium & large operators from 30 December 2026 — get your supplier files TRACES-ready now.
Files never leave your browser · no upload
1. DDSpass — convert + fix + supplier report
Drop a supplier Excel, CSV, KML, Shapefile or GeoJSON and get a TRACES-ready file back, with the errors TRACES would accept silently caught and explained. Validation and on-screen fixes are free (no account); downloads and the multi-language supplier report are Pro. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. See the full comparison.
2. GeoRoots — open-source GIS tooling
Free and open-source, browser-based, backed by the forestry community. Capable if you are comfortable with GIS: typically a spreadsheet-to-GeoJSON step, then a separate editor to clean geometry (overlaps, rings, winding order). No supplier report or bulk zip.
3. Validators (Silvatrace, EC validator) — check only
A free validator tells you whether a GeoJSON you already have is structurally valid against the EUDR spec — coordinate system, geometry type, ring closure, size. It reports problems; it does not fix or convert them, and the file is uploaded to be checked.
4. geojson.io and generic GIS converters
General tools (geojson.io, MyGeodata, ogr2ogr) convert between formats, but they know nothing about the EUDR spec — they will happily produce a file TRACES rejects or, worse, accepts with wrong data. Fine for a quick format flip, not for compliance.
Questions
What is the difference between validating and fixing?
A validator tells you what is wrong; a fixer corrects it. Most free tools only validate. DDSpass fixes what it safely can and tells you what the supplier must re-send.
Which free tool converts Excel to a TRACES GeoJSON?
DDSpass and GeoRoots both convert spreadsheet data to GeoJSON. DDSpass does it in one pass with error-fixing and a supplier report; GeoRoots uses a separate preparation step.
