03 Working with Data
How to upload, manage, and organize your geospatial datasets.
Q What file formats does Griid AI support?
The platform supports a wide range of geospatial and tabular formats:
.SHP .GEOJSON .GDB .CSV .PARQUET
.XLSX .GEOPACKAGE & more...
💡 Note on Shapefiles
Shapefiles are made up of multiple files (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj).
You must select ALL of them together when uploading, or compress them
into a single .zip file before uploading.
This list is not exhaustive --- Griid AI supports additional formats.
If you are unsure whether your format is supported, contact the
support team.
Q How do I upload a file?
Follow these steps to import your dataset:
1. Locate Upload Button
Find the "Select primary format" option in the Right Panel.
2. Choose Your File
Select the file from your computer and click "Upload".
3. Wait for Processing
A progress bar will appear. Large files may take a few moments to process.

Q What is the Data Catalog?
The Data Catalog in the Right Panel lists all files currently loaded in your session --- both uploaded files and any temporary layers generated by your analyses. You can toggle layer visibility, open attribute tables, or delete files from here.
Q How do I view a layer's attribute data?
To view non-spatial attribute data (rows and columns) for any layer:
1. Right-click the layer
Find the layer in the Data Catalog and right-click it.
2. Select 'Open Attribute Table'
The attribute table will open showing all feature data.
3. Browse rows and columns
Inspect the spatial features and their associated attribute values.
Q Is there a file size limit?
File size limits depend on your plan. If an upload fails due to size, try simplifying the geometry or splitting the dataset into smaller parts before uploading.
