Before processing large files
On phones and tablets, start with files under 20 MiB and keep this tab in the foreground. Video, OCR and 3D operations can use several times the input size in memory. Desktop browsers generally have more room, but the 128 MiB job limit is not a guarantee that every file will fit. Smaller batches reduce memory pressure.
Supported input formats
- GeoJSON geographic data (.geojson)
- Keyhole Markup Language (.kml)
- GeoPackage geographic data (.gpkg)
- ZIP archive (.zip)

- Add your supported file using the chooser or drop zone.
- Review the settings and conversion limits before processing.
- Select Convert files, then download the result.
What to expect
- 64 MB input / ZIP expansion limit. ZIP must contain one complete Shapefile; loose .shp sidecars are not accepted. Explicit layer, source CRS and target CRS choices required.
- Only GeoJSON, KML, GeoPackage and Shapefile drivers are registered. External resources and network access are blocked. Output layer is named converted.
- GeoJSON / KML output is WGS84. Shapefile field names and types are limited; KML renames standard name/description fields and may discard unsupported attributes. Styles and non-selected layers are omitted.
Engine: GDAL WASM. The engine may need a first-use download. Your file stays in this browser session.Check conversion engines and offline requirements.
Conversion settings
These settings are available in the converter above.
- Layer name
- Inspect the dataset and enter one exact layer name. ZIP input must contain one complete Shapefile.
- Source coordinate system
- Choices: Use the embedded dataset CRS; EPSG:4326 · WGS84 longitude / latitude; EPSG:3857 · Web Mercator meters.
- Target coordinate system
- Choices: EPSG:4326 · WGS84 longitude / latitude.
About this conversion
Is vector dataset to kml free?
Yes. This tool runs on your device without an account or a conversion fee.
Are files uploaded during conversion?
File processing happens locally in your browser. Engines may download their code on first use; your input files are not sent to a conversion server. Read how file privacy works.
What if conversion fails?
Check that the file matches a supported input, review the engine’s limitations and try a smaller representative file. If the engine cannot load, check its engine assets and browser requirements. The app reports failures without switching to a remote converter.
