KML to CSV Converter

Upload your KML file using the converter at the top of this page, or drag it onto the upload box, then click convert. The tool reads every placemark in the file and builds a CSV with a row for each one. When it finishes, a download button appears and you save the CSV to your computer. The whole process takes a few seconds and happens right in your browser.

KML stands for Keyhole Markup Language. It is an XML based format that Google Earth and Google My Maps use to store places, routes, and shapes, along with their names and any custom information you add. Because it is written for maps rather than spreadsheets, it is great for viewing locations but awkward to read or analyze as plain data, which is why people convert it to CSV.

Yes. The converter is free to use and there is no limit on how many files you can convert. You do not need an account to use it. If you later want to turn your converted data into an interactive map, Maptive offers a ten-day free trial of the full platform, but the conversion tool itself is open to everyone at no cost.

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser on your own device. Your KML file is read locally and the CSV is built locally, so the file is never sent to a server and nothing is stored after you leave the page. This keeps private location data, such as customer or site lists, on your computer the whole time.

Every CSV includes a Name and Description column, followed by a column for each custom data field found in your KML, then Latitude, Longitude, a Geometry label, and a WKT column that holds the full shape. If a placemark does not have a value for a column, that cell is simply left blank, so the file stays neat and consistent from the first row to the last.

Yes. Files exported from Google Earth and Google My Maps are standard KML, and the converter reads them the same way. As long as the file ends in .kml and contains placemarks, the tool will pull out the names, coordinates, and any data fields you saved. If your file is a KMZ, unzip it first to get the KML inside, then convert that.

Yes. Points become a row with their latitude and longitude. Lines and polygons become a row as well, with the first coordinate in the latitude and longitude columns, a geometry label so you know the type, and the complete shape written out in the WKT column. A file that mixes pins, routes, and shapes converts in a single pass with every feature accounted for.

Yes. The custom name and value pairs that KML stores as ExtendedData are read and given their own columns in the CSV. If your placemarks carry a region, a category, a phone number, or any other field, each one lines up next to every location in the file, so the detail you added in Google Earth comes through to your spreadsheet.

Yes. Once your places are in a CSV, you can import the file into Maptive and every row becomes a marker on an interactive map. From there you can color and group your points, build sales territories, shade a heat map, and share the map with a link. The CSV you make here is ready to load straight into the platform.

KML is a map format that stores places, shapes, and styling so they can be drawn in Google Earth and similar tools. CSV is a plain table where each row is a record and each column is a field. KML is the better choice for viewing geography, while CSV is the better choice for sorting, editing, and moving data between programs. Converting from one to the other lets you use whichever fits the job in front of you.
