Upload KML/KMZ File(s)
Standard .kml or .kmz files (bulk upload supported)
Instructions:
Shapefiles are the industry standard for desktop GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS). KML is the standard for Google Earth.
This tool bridges the gap, allowing you to share professional GIS data with clients who only use Google Earth.
Zip your .shp, .dbf, .shx, and .prj files together into a single .zip file, then upload it here. The tool reprojects all coordinates to WGS84 and converts the geometry and attributes to KML. Download the result instantly.
Yes, completely free with no account, no watermarks, and no file size limits.
Yes — to get proper attribute data and projection info, zip all four files (.shp, .dbf, .shx, .prj) together. The .prj file is especially important for correct coordinate reprojection.
No. All conversion logic runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript libraries. Your spatial data is never uploaded to any server.
You can convert Shapefiles to KML, KMZ, GeoJSON, and CSV. Each format is optimized — KMZ for Google Earth, GeoJSON for web mapping, CSV for spreadsheet analysis.
Yes. Points, MultiPoints, Polylines, Polygons, and MultiPolygons are all supported. Z-values (3D coordinates) are preserved where present.
If a valid .prj file is included, the tool uses proj4.js to reproject from over 100 common CRS (UTM zones, State Plane, national grids) to WGS84. Without a .prj file, coordinates are used as-is.
A complete Shapefile requires at minimum three files: .shp (geometry), .shx (index), and .dbf (attribute table). The .prj file is strongly recommended — without it the tool assumes WGS84, which will place your data in the wrong location if it uses a different CRS like State Plane or UTM.
This tool converts in both directions. To convert KML to SHP, upload your KML file and the tool will output a zipped Shapefile folder (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj) ready for QGIS or ArcGIS.
No. Shapefile conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your proprietary GIS data is never sent to any server.
The output is always reprojected to WGS84 (EPSG:4326), which is the standard for Google Earth and GPS devices. Your original CRS is read from the .prj file.
Zipped Shapefile archives up to 100MB are supported. Very large files with millions of vertices may be slow — use our KML Simplifier first to reduce complexity.
