SLYR: the ESRI to QGIS Compatibility Suite

This is the documentation for North Road's SLYR tool.

SLYR offers the complete ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro to QGIS compatibility suite. It allows you to seamless work with ESRI document formats from within QGIS, including MXD, APRX, MAPX, LYR, LYRX, and many other ESRI formats.

SLYR offers the ability to directly import ESRI documents into QGIS, without the need for any ESRI software installation or licensing. It also allows exporting QGIS projects for use in ArcGIS Pro as APRX, MAPX or LYRX files.

SLYR is the only tool which provides near perfect results, with the converted projects almost always identically matching their original versions.

You can read more about SLYR at the North Road (opens new window) homepage, including pricing information and purchasing instructions.
