How to convert CSV to KMZ

  1. Drop your CSV file into the box above (or click to browse).
  2. The GDAL engine loads once and reads the file right in your browser.
  3. Pick KMZ as the output, set a coordinate system if you need one, and click Convert, then download the result.

Why convert CSV to KMZ?

CSV is a spreadsheet-style table, so it isn't always the format the next tool expects. Converting it to KMZ lets you share it as a single, compact Google Earth file without redrawing or re-collecting anything. Because GISConverter runs a full GDAL engine in your browser, the geometry and attributes carry across faithfully, and the file never leaves your device.

About the formats

CSV (.csv): CSV is the universal spreadsheet exchange format: rows of plain-text values that open in Excel, Google Sheets or any text editor. For mapping, a CSV becomes spatial when it carries coordinate columns — typically latitude/longitude, or an X/Y pair — that a GIS can turn into points.

KMZ (.kmz): A KMZ file is simply a KML document compressed into a ZIP archive, optionally bundling icons, images and overlays alongside it. It is smaller than raw KML and is the format Google Earth exports by default, which makes it the usual way to hand a finished map to someone else.
