Convert KML to SHP online
Convert Keyhole Markup Language (KML) — the Google Earth and Google Maps format — into Esri Shapefile, which is the Esri format used by ArcGIS and QGIS — really a set of files (.shp, .dbf, .prj, …) bundled in a .zip. Drop your KML file below, SHP is already selected as the output, and download the result. Everything runs in your browser and the cloud; you never install anything.

KML to SHP: frequently asked questions
Is the KML to SHP converter free?
Yes — new accounts get free conversion credits to start, and every paid plan converts unlimited files within its size limit. There is nothing to install; the whole KML-to-SHP conversion runs in the cloud.
Is my data kept private?
Conversion is fully automated and your file is never shared. Files are deleted automatically after 48 hours. Download your SHP result and it's yours to keep.
What will the shapefile download look like?
Because a shapefile is made of several files, your result is delivered as a single .zip containing the .shp, .shx, .dbf and .prj — ready to open in ArcGIS or QGIS.
Can I convert SHP back to KML?
Yes — use our SHP to KML converter for the reverse direction. MapGO supports conversions in both directions between these formats.
