About

CSV

CSV is a plain text table format with comma-separated columns. In GIS, CSV is commonly used to store tabular data with coordinate columns (such as longitude, latitude). While CSV itself is not a geospatial format, by specifying coordinate fields, tabular data can be converted to geometric features like points, lines, or polygons. CSV is the most common way to export geographic data from spreadsheets, databases, and sensors.

KMZ

KMZ is the compressed archive format of KML, packaging the .kml file and its associated images, icons, and other resources into a single ZIP archive. KMZ files are smaller and easier to distribute via email or web download. Google Earth can open KMZ files directly, automatically extracting and rendering the geographic content.

Conversion trade-offs

CSV: limitations to know

  • Does not support geometry types (point/line/polygon), only coordinate points
  • No coordinate reference system information
  • Lacks compression for large datasets

KMZ: what you gain

  • Single file containing all content, easy to distribute
  • Significantly smaller file size after compression

Why convert CSV to KMZ?

Converting CSV to KMZ is one of the most common workflows in GIS. CSV data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while KMZ is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your CSV files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean KMZ output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.

Is the CSV to KMZ converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting CSV to KMZ?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your CSV file uses a projected CRS (like UTM), you can search any EPSG coordinate system by keyword or code and reproject in one step. Note: output formats that require WGS84 by specification (KML, KMZ, GPX) always reproject to WGS84 automatically.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drop several CSV files at once and each one produces its own KMZ output.
