Excel to KML (XLSX to KML)

Address lists, asset registers and survey results usually live in an Excel spreadsheet. Converting Excel to KML plots every row that has coordinates onto a map you can open in Google Earth or Google Maps — no manual pin-dropping, no copy-paste into a mapping tool.

Give your spreadsheet clear latitude/longitude (or x/y) columns, upload the .xlsx, and download KML. Every other column rides along as placemark attributes. Prefer a GIS format? Convert Excel to Shapefile or to GeoJSON instead.

About Excel (XLSX)

Excel XLSX files with coordinate columns can be used as a source of geospatial point data. When a spreadsheet contains latitude and longitude columns, GDAL can interpret each row as a point feature, making it possible to convert tabular location data directly to GeoJSON, Shapefile, or other vector formats without manual data preparation.

You might convert from Excel when field data, survey results, or location lists have been collected in a spreadsheet and need to be plotted on a map or loaded into a GIS for spatial analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Which columns are used for the point geometry?

The converter looks for common column names such as latitude, longitude, lat, lon, x, and y. Ensure your spreadsheet uses recognisable column headers for coordinates.

What happens to non-coordinate columns?

All other columns in the spreadsheet are preserved as feature properties in the output format, matching the same behaviour as CSV point conversion.

Can I convert an Excel file with multiple sheets?

The first sheet containing recognisable coordinate columns is processed. If coordinates are on a specific sheet, move that sheet to the first position before uploading.
