Convert DXF to KML online
Upload a DXF, place it on the map, download it for Google Earth.
Why convert DXF to KML here?
- Any DXF version is read, from any CAD software (AutoCAD, LibreCAD, QCAD, BricsCAD…).
- You see where the drawing lands before you download: no shifted plan in Google Earth.
- Layers become folders, CAD colours are kept on lines and polygons.
- Texts and blocks become placemarks you can click.
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
Do I get a .kml or a .kmz?
A .kmz, the zipped KML that Google Earth, QGIS and ArcGIS open the same way. Rename it to .zip and unzip it if you need the .kml inside (doc.kml).
My DXF is in local coordinates (0,0). What happens?
Place it first: click two points you know on the map, or type the coordinate system it was drawn in. Then the KML lands at the right place.
Is it free?
The map preview is always free. Files under 1 MB download for free, 3 per day.
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.
