The extension .KML stands for Keyhole Markup language file. This type of file is used mostly to store, geographic information which is used for modeling the information in a xml based format.

What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "KAP") to another (referred to as "KML"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, KAP file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format KAP to format KML becomes essential.
So, how can we perform KAP to KML file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format KAP and transforming it into format KML. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of KAP to KML converters.
