KML is built for viewing and sharing in Google Earth. MapInfo TAB is built for working in MapInfo Pro.
KML
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML format created for Google Earth and adopted as an OGC standard in 2008. It stores placemarks, paths and polygons together with their styles and descriptions.
KML is the easiest way to show geographic data to people who don't use GIS software, but it is built for display rather than analysis.
MapInfo TAB
MapInfo TAB is the native format of MapInfo Pro. A table is a set of files — .tab (structure), .dat (attributes), .map (geometry) and .id (index) — that must travel together.
It remains common in telecom, insurance, retail and public-sector teams that have worked with MapInfo for years.
Your KML file
KML styles (icons, colours) describe how features look; attributes kept in descriptions or extended data may need tidying after conversion.
The MapInfo TAB output
The output is a set of files (.tab, .dat, .map, .id) — keep them together in one folder.
Your file never leaves your device: conversion runs in your browser, for files up to 100 MB.
Open KML data natively in MapInfo Pro with columns in place.
Feed telecom, insurance and government systems that are still built around MapInfo tables.
Give colleagues KML data in a format they can use without importing anything.
Every converter runs in your browser and keeps your files on your device.
