Significantly smaller file sizes for GeoLite databases
October 7, 2026We have made changes to how we build and package our MMDB files to be more efficient, which has significantly reduced the file sizes. The size of CSV files will not change.
No data has been removed from the databases. You will continue to receive the same amount of data in a smaller package.
This is a non-breaking change.
The following databases will be released today, October 7, 2026 with a smaller file size:
| Database name | Original file size | Reduced file size | Approx. reduction percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| GeoLite ASN database | 12 MB | 8.5 MB | 25 % |
| GeoLite City database | 62 MB | 50 MB | 20 % |
| GeoLite Country database | 8 MB | 3 MB | 60 % |
