    Convert Shapefile to KML

    A GIS layer as a shapefile (ZIP with shp/dbf/prj) to share with someone who has no GIS software? The tool reads the coordinate system from the .prj automatically and carries the whole attribute table into KML ExtendedData that opens straight in Google Earth.

    FAQ

    How do I convert Shapefile to KML?
    Upload the Shapefile file in the tool above and a summary of its contents appears (points/lines/polygons and attributes). Pick the coordinate system if the file carries none, then hit “Convert & download” — the KML file saves straight to your device.
    Is my file uploaded to a server?
    No — everything runs inside your browser and the file never leaves your device. No sign-up, no usage caps.
    Are attributes, names and elevations preserved?
    Yes, as far as KML allows: names and Z values always pass through, and attribute fields carry over wherever the format has a table — any potential loss is shown explicitly before converting; nothing is dropped silently.

    All formats and directions (8 formats in and out) live in the full surveying file format converter.
