[Qgis-user] Converting UTM to geographical coordinates

[Giovanni Manghi]

Hi,

add the shape to the project, then select it in the table of contents,
right mouse button and choose "save as...". It will ask you for the
target crs.

If your shape has no .prj file you may need to use first

vector -> data management tools -> define projection


cheers!
