This page lists useful batch file examples for using ogr2ogr.exe. For complete documentation on this tool please visit gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr

Format conversion can be done using "-f <format_name>" then specifying the "<destination_filename> <source_filename>".

SHP to GPKG

ogr2ogr.exe -f GPKG 2d_code_M01_R.gpkg 2d_code_M01_R.shp

MIF to SHP - assuming only one geometry type exists in the MIF file

ogr2ogr.exe -f "ESRI Shapefile" 2d_code_M01_R.shp 2d_code_M01.mif

Convert All Files Within Folder to GPKG

ogr2ogr.exe -f GPKG all_layers.gpkg ./path/to/dir

Convert All Files Within Folder to GPKG with Wildcard

ogr2ogr.exe -f GPKG all_layers.gpkg ./path/to/dir/*.shp

Convert All Files From a GPKG to a SHP

ogr2ogr.exe -f GPKG ./path/to/outdir all_layers.gpkg
