KMZ is a compressed (zipped) version of KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files. KMZ files bundle the KML document together with any supporting files like images, icons, and textures into a single compressed archive.
KMZ files are commonly used for:
- Sharing Google Earth projects with images
- Distributing map overlays with custom icons
- Packaging tours and presentations
- Efficient file transfer (smaller size)

KMZ Viewer FAQ
How do I convert KMZ to KML?
KMZ is simply a zipped KML file. You can rename any .kmz file to .zip and extract it, or use this viewer to see the KML content directly.
Are embedded images displayed?
Currently, the viewer focuses on extracting geographic data and placemarks. Embedded images are detected but not displayed.
Why use KMZ instead of KML?
KMZ files are compressed, making them smaller and faster to transfer. They can also include supporting files like custom icons in a single package.
Is my geographic data safe?
Absolutely! The KMZ file is extracted and processed entirely in your browser. Your location data is never sent to any server.
