About

GML

GML (Geography Markup Language) is an XML-based geospatial data encoding standard defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). GML provides rich geospatial data modeling capabilities, supporting complex geometry types, topology, coordinate reference systems, and spatiotemporal data. GML is widely used in European and government sectors, often for national spatial data infrastructures (SDI).

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

GML: limitations to know

  • Complex format, large files, high parsing overhead
  • Limited interoperability between different GML application schemas
  • Limited web application support, not suitable for online maps

KMZ: what you gain

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

Why convert GML to KMZ?

Converting GML to KMZ is one of the most common workflows in GIS. GML 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 GML 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 GML to KMZ converter free?

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

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting GML to KMZ?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your GML 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 GML files at once and each one produces its own KMZ output.
