Convert KML to Markdown.
Drop a .kml or .kmz map file and get clean, readable Markdown in seconds. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
Drag & drop your files
or
Optimize for AI & RAG
Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.
Add YAML front matter
Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.
Add table of contents
Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.
Export RAG chunks (.json)
Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.
Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.
Built for maps,
not for reading.
A KML file wraps each place in nested XML tags. Open one and you wade through markup, coordinates and styling. Converting pulls out the names and notes as plain, readable Markdown.
<kml>
<Placemark>
<name>City Hall</name>
<description><b>Main square</b></description>
<Point><coordinates>-9.1,38.7,0</coordinates></Point>
</Placemark>
</kml>
## City Hall
Main square
- **Coordinates:** -9.1,38.7,0
Everything you
actually need.
Map files in, clean Markdown out, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
Your .kml or .kmz is read and parsed on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.
# Heading
- point one
3 chunks
AI & RAG ready
Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.
Works offline
Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.
## City Hall
Main square
- Coordinates: -9.1,38.7
Each placemark, a section
Every placemark becomes a heading with its description and first coordinates.
Unicode safe
Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.
Free, and unlimited
No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.
What survives
the trip.
Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for KML, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
Kept
3- Placemark names
- Descriptions (HTML stripped)
- First coordinate pair
Dropped
3- Folders and styles
- Additional geometry
- KMZ extras (only the .kml is read)
KML questions,
answered.
Everything worth knowing before you drop in a .kml or .kmz.
