KML Converter

This app lets you view and convert KML files to other geographic data formats. It supports conversions between KML, KMZ, GPX, GeoJSON, and TopoJSON.

Understanding KML

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is a file format displaying geographical data within applications like Google Earth. Built on XML, it uses a tag-based structure with nested elements. The tags are case-sensitive, and their meaning depends on the context within the KML file. KML can represent points, lines, polygons, and images, and it allows for labeling locations, defining camera angles, applying textures, and embedding HTML.
