Supported File Formats

Overview

Soarvo supports a wide range of geospatial and survey file formats. Availability of certain advanced formats depends on your subscription — check the Resource limits page in the account menu, or contact your Soarvo Administrator if a format is unavailable for you.

ℹ️ Field-captured data: Features captured in the Soarvo Mobile app sync directly into the same Location and become visible in the Data Viewer — no upload step required. See Soarvo Mobile App Overview.
⚠️ Note: Files must be in the same coordinate system as the project. Mismatches are the most common cause of data displaying in the wrong location.
⚠️ Note: The file or ZIP file name becomes the layer name in Soarvo. Name files carefully before uploading.
