Convert SQLite to KML online
Convert SpatiaLite / SQLite — a single-file spatial database — into Keyhole Markup Language (KML), which is the Google Earth and Google Maps format. Drop your SQLite file below, KML is already selected as the output, and download the result. Everything runs in your browser and the cloud; you never install anything.
Upload your file
Drag and drop it into the converter below. A free account comes with three welcome conversions.
Convert in the cloud
MapGO detects the format and produces your download in seconds.
Download & keep it

Why convert SQLite to KML with MapGO?
Most online converters take one file and hand back one file. MapGO is built on a real geospatial engine, so a single upload can do more.
- Several outputs in one upload
Tick KML and any other formats you need; every selected format is delivered from the same file.
- Files up to 5 GB
Far beyond the browser-based converters that choke past a few hundred megabytes.
- Reproject while you convert
Set a source and target EPSG code and the coordinate system is changed during the conversion, no second tool needed.
- Private by default
Files are deleted automatically after 48 hours.
SQLite vs KML at a glance
| SQLite | KML | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use | Single-file spatial database (SpatiaLite) for analysis and apps | Google Earth / Google My Maps visualisation and sharing placemarks |
| Size on disk | Compact single file; multiple tables/layers | Verbose XML; the zipped KMZ variant shrinks it considerably |
| Attribute support | Full SQL types — query with plain SQL | Styling-first — data lives in ExtendedData and is easy to lose |
| Software support | GDAL, QGIS, plus any SQLite tooling | Google Earth/Maps and most GIS tools |
| Web-friendliness | Not web-native — convert for the browser | Good inside the Google ecosystem; niche elsewhere |
Other ways to convert SQLite to KML
You don't need an online tool for this. If you have GDAL installed, one command does it.
In QGIS (free): open your SQLite via Layer → Add Layer, then right-click the layer → Export → Save Features As… and pick KML as the format.
The MapGO converter above is for when you don't want to install anything, need to convert to several formats at once, or are handling files too large for a desktop machine.
ogr2ogr -f "KML" output.kml input.sqliteSQLite to KML: frequently asked questions
Is the SQLite to KML converter free?
Partly. Every new account gets three welcome conversions for free, so you can try SQLite to KML without paying. After that, you can either buy a credit pack and pay per conversion, or take a subscription, which gives you unlimited conversions within the plan's file-size limit. There is nothing to install; the whole 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.
What does the KML output contain?
You get a clean Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file with your geometry and attributes preserved, ready to open in the tools that read KML.
Is a SpatiaLite database the same as SQLite?
SpatiaLite is SQLite plus a spatial extension — geometry columns living inside an ordinary .sqlite/.db file. MapGO reads the first spatial table in the file; if you need a different table, export it to its own file first.
Will my layer styling show up in Google Earth?
Geometry and attributes convert; symbology does not, because every format stores styling differently. Google Earth applies its default placemark style — restyle inside Google Earth after opening the file.
Can I convert KML back to SQLite?
Yes — use our KML to SQLite converter for the reverse direction. MapGO supports conversions in both directions between these formats.

Open your SQLite in the workspace, check the shapes and attributes, then convert and download from the same place.
