Browser-based GIS workflow

Free KML Tools Online

Open a KML or KMZ file in your browser, inspect points, lines, and polygons, then convert it for web maps, CAD, or desktop GIS workflows.

Start here: Start with a .kml file or a .kmz archive. Keep linked assets together when a KMZ contains icons or other supporting resources.

Choose a task

Start with the action you need

Start here Open the KML or KMZ Preview the geometry and confirm that the features load correctly. View & inspect KML / KMZ Viewer Open KML and KMZ points, lines, polygons, and attributes on an interactive map. Web maps KML to GeoJSON Convert Google Earth features into GeoJSON for browser maps, APIs, and JavaScript tools.

Open and inspect KML

Preview Google Earth-style map features and check the data before sharing or converting it.

Frequently asked questions

KML / KMZ tools FAQ

What is the difference between KML and KMZ?

KML is an XML-based geographic data format. KMZ is a compressed ZIP-style package that can contain a KML file together with images, icons, and other linked assets.

Can I open KML without Google Earth?

Yes. GeoDataViewer can preview supported KML and KMZ files in a browser-based map without requiring Google Earth or a desktop GIS installation.

Which format should I convert KML to?

Use GeoJSON for web maps and APIs, DXF for CAD workflows, Shapefile for broad legacy GIS compatibility, or GeoPackage for a portable modern GIS container.
