How to Use

1

Upload SVG

Upload your SVG with geographic shapes.

2

Set bounding coordinates

Define the geographic bounding box (SW and NE corners in lat/lon).

3

Download KML

Download the .kml file and open in Google Earth or My Maps.

SVG to KML for Google Earth and Maps

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is the geographic format used by Google Earth and Google My Maps. Converting SVG to KML allows you to display vector artwork as geographic overlays in these popular applications. The converter georeferencing the SVG coordinate space to WGS84 lat/lon coordinates based on your specified bounding box.

Real-World Examples & Use Cases

Google Earth Overlays

Convert an SVG historical map to KML for display as an overlay in Google Earth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is KML?▼
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML-based format for displaying geographic data in Google Earth, Google Maps, and other applications.
Can I import KML into Google My Maps?▼
Yes. Google My Maps supports KML import. Open My Maps, click Import, and upload your KML file.
