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

KML

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

Output

GeoJSON

GeoJSON is a JSON format for geographic features: points, lines, polygons and their attributes.

Use this converter when you have a KML file and the next step needs GeoJSON, for example GIS, mapping and data pipelines. 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 KML to GeoJSON 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 GeoJSON?

Load it in a map tool and confirm the coordinate system, then inspect attribute fields.
