File formats define in which way the geographical features are stored. Raster and vector data are stored in different formats.There are numerous formats available for both raster and vector data. It is important to consider the file format of GIS data because software programs rarely support all file types. If you want to use GIS data that was saved in a particular format not supported by your GIS
