Asteria

KML to GEOJSON

Turn Google Earth KML files into GeoJSON map data files on your own Mac, Windows or Linux computer. Asteria is free, works offline, and never uploads your files.

How to do it

  1. Download Asteria and open it. It's free and needs no account.
  2. Drop your KML files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
  3. Type kml to geojsonand pick Convert to GeoJSON. Write map features as GeoJSON.
  4. Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The GEOJSON files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.

What it needs

Nothing. This conversion is built into Asteria, so it works the moment the app is open, even offline.

How it was tested

A real KML file was converted on Linux, and the GEOJSON that came out was opened and checked with GDAL ogrinfo to make sure it is what it says it is.
