KML vs XLSX: what changes when you convert

KML is built for viewing and sharing in Google Earth. XLSX is built for business reporting and non-GIS teams.

KML

What is a KML file?

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.

XLSX

What is an XLSX file?

XLSX is the Microsoft Excel workbook format. Geographic data sits in rows, with location stored in latitude/longitude columns or as WKT text.

It is how most business teams already work with data. A sheet holds up to 1,048,576 rows and has no built-in notion of geometry or coordinate systems.

What to know before converting KML to XLSX

Your KML file

KML styles (icons, colours) describe how features look; attributes kept in descriptions or extended data may need tidying after conversion.

The XLSX output

Geometry is stored as text — coordinates or WKT — and each sheet is limited to 1,048,576 rows.

Privacy

Your file never leaves your device: conversion runs in your browser, for files up to 100 MB.
