DXF to KMZ Converter Online Guide

Convert DXF CAD drawings to KMZ or KML for Google Earth and GIS review. Select the source CRS, inspect features on a map, then export georeferenced deliverables.

What is DXF?

DXF is a CAD exchange format commonly used for survey linework, parcel boundaries, site plans and engineering drawings.

What is KMZ/KML?

KMZ is a compressed KML package used by Google Earth and many GIS viewers for points, lines, polygons and descriptive attributes.

When to use this converter

Use this converter when CAD linework needs to be reviewed with aerial imagery, shared with non-CAD users, or delivered as a lightweight Google Earth overlay.

Supported geometry

Supported inputs are practical DXF point, polyline, lightweight polyline and polygon-style geometry from the browser parser.

Coordinate systems

Select the source coordinate reference system before import. Google Earth KML/KMZ deliverables use WGS84 geographic coordinates, while DXF and survey files often use projected metre-based systems such as UTM or a national CRS.

Workflow

  1. Open the CRS selector and choose the source CRS.
  2. Import the DXF file using the page import button.
  3. Inspect features on the map and check the attribute preview.
  4. Choose the KMZ/KML export option and download the deliverable.

Common mistakes

FAQ

Do I need to choose a coordinate system before exporting DXF to KMZ?

Yes. DXF coordinates often use a projected or local engineering CRS, while KMZ/KML stores geographic WGS84 coordinates.

Can the output be KML instead of KMZ?

The page keeps the DXF to KMZ name, but the export workflow also supports KML/KMZ choices where the converter UI exposes them.

Why does my CAD drawing appear far from the site?

That usually means the source CRS or local grid definition does not match the DXF coordinates.
