Will merging erase names, attributes or styles?
The merger copies source XML into separate folders, retaining ExtendedData, geometry and style definitions. Local style and schema IDs are renamed together with references. External styles and relative assets still depend on their original resources.
Will overlapping shapes or duplicate points be removed?
No. Merging concatenates source documents. Use exact point deduplication for repeated points, or dissolve for polygon boundaries.
Are my files uploaded, and do I need an account?
No. This file operation runs in your browser and needs no account or payment. The page and processing libraries need an initial network load. Opening a map preview can request external map tiles; linked resources in your original KML are not fetched or embedded by this tool.
