GeoUnpackFind out what's inside an .lpk file in seconds: layer names, feature counts, coordinate system, attributes and a map preview. No ArcGIS licence required.
What the viewer shows
After you drop a file, GeoUnpack lists every layer and table in the package with:
- the geometry type (points, lines, polygons, or a table without geometry),
- the number of features,
- the coordinate system as an EPSG code when the package records one,
- a map preview of up to 2,000 features over OpenStreetMap; click a feature to read its attributes.
Limits of viewing without ArcGIS
You see the data, not the cartography. The colours, classifications and labels the author set up are stored in the .lyr file inside the package, in a format only ArcGIS draws. Raster layers (imagery, elevation) are not shown. If no layers are found, the package probably references data on a server rather than containing a copy; ask the sender to re-create it with the data included.
How to use it
- Drop the .lpk or .lpkx file into the box.
- Click Preview next to a layer to see it on the map.
- Click any feature to read its attributes.

FAQ
What is an .lpk file?
An ArcGIS layer package. It bundles a layer's styling (.lyr) with a copy of its data, usually in a file geodatabase, compressed into a single file for sharing.
How do I open an .lpk in QGIS?
Extract it with 7-Zip, open the 'v10' or 'v108' folder and drag the .gdb folder into QGIS. Or convert it to Shapefile or GeoPackage here.
