How to convert GeoJSON to KMZ

  1. Add your GeoJSON map files

    Drop GeoJSON files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. KMZ is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the KMZ, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The GeoJSON to KMZ converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your map files are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

GeoJSON to KMZ: what to expect

GeoJSON is large for detailed boundaries and has no styling of its own. KMZ bundles a map with its icons and images in one file. GeoJSON is at home in points, lines and areas on the web; KMZ is the usual choice for KML with its icons and overlay images in one file.

Every format is read into plain GeoJSON features and written out from there, so coordinates, names and properties carry over wherever the target has a place for them. Altitude and per-point timestamps are kept; a line with timestamps is written as a Google Earth track that can be played back. The KML is zipped as doc.kml, the name Google Earth expects.

GeoJSON vs KMZ

GEOJSON

GeoJSON map data

GeoJSON describes geographic features, points, lines and polygons, with their properties as plain JSON. It is the standard format for web maps. Coordinates are in WGS 84 and written longitude first, then latitude, the reverse of how most people say them.

KMZ

KMZ map file

A KMZ is a ZIP archive containing a KML file, normally named doc.kml, and the icons and images it uses. Google Earth saves a placemark collection as KMZ so that the pictures travel with it.

Questions

Are my map files uploaded anywhere?

No. The GeoJSON to KMZ conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting GeoJSON to KMZ?

The values are kept. Anything KMZ has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.

Can I convert several GeoJSON files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert GeoJSON to KMZ on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the GeoJSON file, press Convert and save the KMZ. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
