EUDR GeoJSON tools compared: validate, convert, fix
Several tools help you turn supplier geodata into a file TRACES accepts for an EUDR Due Diligence Statement — but they do different jobs. Some only validate, some convert, some fix. Here is an honest side-by-side of the three you will meet most, and which one fits your situation.

| Price | Free tier, then €39/mo Pro (€149 Agency) | Free, open-source | Free validator (paid platform behind it) |
| Convert Excel / CSV / KML / Shapefile → GeoJSON | Yes — in one drop | Yes — separate Prepper tool | No — GeoJSON only |
| Auto-fixes errors (not just flags them) | Yes | Partial — geometry auto-clean | No — reports only |
| Plain-language supplier fix report (EN/ES/PT/FR/DE/NL/DA) | Yes | No | No |
| Bulk — many files → one zip | Yes — Agency | No | No |
| Files never leave your browser | Yes | Yes | No — upload |
| Single pass: cleaned file + report in one step | Yes | No — multiple tools | No — validate only |

Which tool for which job
If you already have a GeoJSON and just want to know whether it is structurally valid, any validator — Silvatrace or the European Commission's own validator — will tell you. They report problems; they do not fix or convert them.
If you are comfortable with GIS and want free, open-source tooling, GeoRoots is browser-based and capable — expect to run a spreadsheet-to-GeoJSON step, then a separate editor step to clean the geometry.
If a supplier sent a messy Excel, KML or Shapefile and you want a single pass to a TRACES-ready file — plus a plain-language note you can send back to the supplier — that is what DDSpass is for.
Where DDSpass is different
One drop does the whole job: it converts the format, fixes what it safely can, and separates “what we fixed” from “what your supplier must re-send”. It also surfaces the errors TRACES accepts silently — an area typed as text that imports as 0 ha, coordinates in the wrong order that put a plot in the ocean, a self-intersecting boundary that collapses the area — explained in words, not just flagged.
Everything runs in your browser, so supplier geodata is never uploaded. Validation and on-screen fixes are free; downloading the cleaned file and the supplier report is the paid step.
Questions
Is DDSpass open-source like GeoRoots?
No. GeoRoots is open-source tooling you assemble yourself; DDSpass is a single hosted tool that converts, fixes and writes the supplier report in one pass. Both run in the browser and never upload your files.
Do I still need a satellite deforestation-risk tool?
That is a different job. DDSpass prepares and validates the geolocation file; risk platforms assess deforestation from satellite imagery. They complement each other — DDSpass gets your plots TRACES-ready first.
Is DDSpass really free?
Validation and on-screen fixes for every plot are free, with no account. Downloading the cleaned file and the multi-language supplier report is the Pro step (€39/mo); processing many files at once is the Agency tier.
