SHP to KML: frequently asked questions

Is the SHP to KML 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 SHP-to-KML 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 KML result and it's yours to keep.

How do I upload a shapefile?

A shapefile is several files that belong together (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj). Zip them into a single .zip and upload that — MapGO reads all the parts and warns you if a required piece (like the .dbf) is missing.

Can I convert KML back to SHP?

Yes — use our KML to SHP converter for the reverse direction. MapGO supports conversions in both directions between these formats.
