    How to do it

    1. Drop your KML or KMZ file into the box above — or click “choose a file” to pick it from your device.
    2. Click “Convert to GeoJSON”. DropMaps opens in a new tab with your file on the map, so you can check it looks right.
    3. The save options open by themselves, with GeoJSON highlighted. Click it and the file downloads straight away.

    Questions

    Are the place names and descriptions kept?

    Yes. Each place’s name, description and other details become properties in the GeoJSON.

    My file has more than one layer. How do I convert the rest?

    The save options open for the first layer. For the others, open the layer’s menu in the layer list and choose Export….

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    No. The file is opened right in your browser, on your own computer. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to save the map to a DropMaps account.

    Is it really free?

    Yes. Opening, viewing, editing and exporting files is free, with no signup needed. An account is only needed if you want to save maps to the cloud or share them with a link.
