    ArcGIS REST to GeoJSON

    Paste a FeatureServer or MapServer layer URL and download the whole layer as one GeoJSON FeatureCollection in WGS84. The paged download runs in your browser against the layer’s own server; where a server can’t produce GeoJSON itself, the converter measures and corrects Esri ring winding so polygons come out right side out. Free, no account, nothing uploaded.

    Converting, answered

    How do I convert an ArcGIS REST layer to GeoJSON?

    Paste the layer URL above, the one ending in /FeatureServer/0 or /MapServer/3. The tool reads the layer's own record count and page size, downloads every page straight from that server into your browser, and hands you one .geojson FeatureCollection in WGS84 (EPSG:4326). Nothing passes through our servers and nothing is stored.

    Where do I find the REST layer URL for my county's parcels?

    The county parcel REST atlas lists the verified layer URL for 155 counties, with searchable fields and a sample query. If your county is indexed, copy its endpoint from the atlas page and paste it here.

    Why does my export have polygons that look inside-out in some tools?

    That is a ring-winding problem, and this tool is built to avoid it. Esri JSON winds outer rings clockwise; the GeoJSON spec (RFC 7946) requires counterclockwise. When a server cannot produce GeoJSON itself, the converter measures each ring's winding and re-orients it, so strict readers see proper polygons with holes instead of inside-out shapes.

    The download fails immediately. What happened?

    Usually one of two things. Some GIS servers do not send CORS headers, so a browser cannot fetch them directly from another site; the data is still public, but you would need to fetch it outside the browser (curl, QGIS, a script). And some layers cap or disable querying entirely. The error shown names which call failed.
