Earth Engine is introducing
noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by
April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on
April 27, 2026.

Returns a GeoJSON representation of the geometry.
| Usage | Returns | Point.toGeoJSON() | GeoJSONGeometry |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The Geometry instance. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);
// Apply the toGeoJSON method to the Point object.
var pointToGeoJSON = point.toGeoJSON();
// Print the result to the console.
print('point.toGeoJSON(...) =', pointToGeoJSON);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(point,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: point');
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
Colab (Python)
# Define a Point object.
point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42)
# Apply the toGeoJSON method to the Point object.
point_to_geojson = point.toGeoJSON()
# Print the result.
display('point.toGeoJSON(...) =', point_to_geojson)
# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
m.add_layer(point, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: point')

[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The `toGeoJSON()` method converts a Geometry instance (like a Point) into its GeoJSON representation. This method, when applied to a Point object, returns a GeoJSONGeometry. The examples demonstrate creating a Point geometry, applying `toGeoJSON()`, and printing the GeoJSON output. In both JavaScript and Python, the examples display the Point on a map and use the `Map.addLayer()` method or its equivalent. The result is the conversion of the point geometry into GeoJSON format.\n"]]
