Convert DWG to KMZ online
Upload a DWG, check where it lands on the map, download a KMZ that opens in Google Earth.
Why convert DWG to KMZ here?
- The coordinate system is read from the file, from the grid labels on the drawing, or picked by you: you see the plan on the map before paying.
- One Google Earth folder per CAD layer, grouped by network (road, sewer, water, power…), CAD colours kept.
- A single small KMZ file to e-mail to a client who only has Google Earth.
- The same download also holds a Shapefile with a .prj, for QGIS or ArcGIS.
How it works
- UploadDrop your file, up to 50 MB. Nothing to install, no account.
- See it on the mapEvery layer drawn on a map in a minute or two. Click an object to see its attributes.
- Place & checkCoordinate system from the file, from the coordinate labels, by search or with 2 points. AI names the layers; you correct them.
- DownloadFiles under 1 MB are free (3 a day). Bigger files: one payment per conversion.

FAQ
How do I convert DWG to KMZ?
Drop the DWG above, check that the plan sits at the right place on the map, then download the zip: drawing.kmz is inside.
My plan has no coordinate system. Can Google Earth still place it?
Yes, once you tell us where it is: pick its EPSG code, let us read the coordinate labels printed on the drawing, or click two known points on the map.
Which DWG versions are read?
AutoCAD R14 up to 2018 and later, including files saved by Covadis, BricsCAD and Civil 3D.
What happens to my files?
Your files are deleted after 24 hours and never used for AI training. They are only used to make your conversion.
Can I get a refund?
No: the free map preview is there so you can check the result before you pay. If a file doesn't open, e-mail us and we'll fix the conversion.
Paid downloads?
Paid downloads open in a few days. Until then files under 1 MB download for free, and Max AI is free to try.
