How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a GeoJSON from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your KML the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

About GeoJSON and KML

GeoJSON, Geographic JSON (RFC 7946)

GeoJSON encodes geographic features (points, lines, polygons) as JSON objects following RFC 7946 (2016). Coordinates are always [longitude, latitude] in WGS84. Supported natively by Leaflet, Mapbox GL, OpenLayers, ArcGIS, QGIS, and PostGIS — the default exchange format for web mapping. Lighter and easier to inspect than KML or shapefile (.shp).

How to open

GitHub renders GeoJSON files inline as interactive maps. geojson.io provides an in-browser editor + validator. QGIS opens .geojson directly. Leaflet/Mapbox apps consume it programmatically.

KML, Keyhole Markup Language

KML is Google Earth's XML format for geographic data, points, lines, polygons, with optional descriptions and styles. Originally Keyhole Inc.'s format (Google acquired Keyhole and created Google Earth from it). Standardized as OGC KML in 2008.

How to open

Google Earth (free), Google My Maps, QGIS, ArcGIS. Plain XML in any editor.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this GeoJSON → KML converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert GeoJSON to KML?

Web mapping data exchange (Leaflet, Mapbox, ArcGIS). Geographic visualization in Google Earth and GIS tools. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, KML works in places where GeoJSON doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a GeoJSON file in the first place?

GitHub renders GeoJSON files inline as interactive maps. geojson.io provides an in-browser editor + validator. QGIS opens .geojson directly. Leaflet/Mapbox apps consume it programmatically.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
