About KML

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML-based format for geographic data, originally developed for Google Earth. It supports vector features, styles, and placemarks, and is widely used for sharing data in Google Earth, Google Maps, and many navigation applications.

You might convert from KML when you need to work with the data in a GIS that does not natively support KML styles (e.g., ArcGIS or QGIS in analysis mode), when you need to perform spatial operations that require GeoJSON or Shapefile, or when you want to publish the data as web tiles.

Frequently asked questions

Will KML styles be preserved in the output?

Style information (fill colour, stroke, icon) is KML-specific and is generally not preserved when converting to formats like GeoJSON or Shapefile. If styles matter, consider exporting from Google Earth in a format that supports attribute-based styling.

What happens to KML folders and placemarks?

KML folders become features with a "folder" attribute. Placemark names and descriptions are preserved as feature properties in the output format.

Can I convert KMZ files?

KMZ is a ZIP-compressed KML file. Rename the .kmz extension to .zip, extract the .kml file inside, then upload the .kml file to the converter.
