The options above are the ones this converter exposes. Defaults are safe for most files; change them when your downstream tool expects specific units or orientation.

What this conversion does

Input

DXF

DXF is Autodesk's open drawing exchange format. It stores lines, curves, dimensions and layers as plain data that CAD programs can read.

Output

KML

KML is an XML format for geographic annotations used by Google Earth and mapping tools.

Use this converter when you have a DXF file and the next step needs KML, for example Google Earth and map presentation. The conversion is handled by a dedicated tool, so you do not have to install a desktop application to move a single file.

Limitations

  • Conversions run in the browser and share the memory your device gives the page. Very large files are better handled on a desktop or with a cloud task.

Frequently asked questions

Is DXF to KML free?

Yes. This pair links to a converter that runs in your browser, and single-file conversions use a free daily allowance. No account is required to start, and you can register later for a larger allowance.

Do my files leave my device?

This pair links to a local browser converter, so the file is processed on your device and is not uploaded. Cloud processing, where a tool uses it, is labeled on the tool page and stores results only temporarily.

Can I convert several files at once?

Single-file conversion is available to everyone. Batch conversion is a paid capability, and cloud tasks have their own daily or monthly quotas. The pricing page lists the current limits.

What should I check after converting to KML?

Open it in Google Earth or a map tool and confirm placemarks and styling.
