What is Shapefile ZIP?
A shapefile dataset normally includes SHP, SHX, DBF and optionally PRJ files, usually delivered together as a ZIP file.
Convert zipped ESRI Shapefile data to KMZ or KML for Google Earth and web mapping review with CRS-aware browser processing.

KMZ/KML stores vector map features in WGS84 and is widely used for quick visual review, sharing and field coordination.
Use this converter when GIS parcel, utility, road or boundary layers need to be shared as Google Earth overlays.
Point, line and polygon shapefile features are converted where the uploaded ZIP includes the required shapefile components.
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.
Yes. Include SHP, SHX, DBF and PRJ files in one ZIP for reliable import and CRS detection.
Important attributes can be carried, but KML presentation is simpler than a full GIS attribute table.
The most common cause is an absent or wrong PRJ/source CRS.
