Tip: KMZ is the compact, zipped version of KML: a good way to email a GeoPackage layer to someone who only has Google Earth.
GeoPackage (.gpkg) is an open OGC standard that stores vector layers, attribute tables and map tiles in a single SQLite database file. It's the default save format in QGIS and is read by ArcGIS Pro, GDAL and most modern GIS software. Unlike a shapefile, one GeoPackage can hold many layers, has no 10-character limit on field names, and keeps everything in one file instead of a bundle of sidecar files.
Need the other direction instead? KMZ is a zipped, self-contained KML — the Google Earth delivery format. KMZ is simply a KML file (plus any referenced icons or overlays) compressed into a single ZIP archive with a .kmz extension. It's the format Google Earth produces when you save a place, because bundling everything into one compact file makes maps easy to email and share. Under the hood it's still KML, so a KMZ converts cleanly to and from every other geographic format.
Every vector layer in the GeoPackage is converted; with more than one layer, they're merged and each feature keeps its layer name in a "layer" field. Layers in a projected coordinate system are reprojected to latitude/longitude. Raster tiles aren't converted.

GeoPackage to KMZ — FAQ
- How do I convert GeoPackage to KMZ?
- Upload your .gpkg file using the converter above (drag & drop or click to browse). GeoMaps converts it to KMZ instantly in your browser and gives you a .kmz file to download. No software to install and no signup required.
- Is the GeoPackage to KMZ converter free?
- Yes — it's completely free with no usage limits, watermarks or account needed. We offer it as a free tool from GeoMaps, the platform for turning your data into interactive maps.
- Is my data private? Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript — your file is never uploaded to any server. Because nothing leaves your device, it's safe for sensitive or confidential data and works even offline once the page has loaded.
- Can I convert KMZ back to GeoPackage?
- Yes. Use our KMZ to GeoPackage converter for the reverse conversion — every format on GeoMaps converts both ways.
- Anything to know about GeoPackage input?
- Every vector layer in the GeoPackage is converted; with more than one layer, they're merged and each feature keeps its layer name in a "layer" field. Layers in a projected coordinate system are reprojected to latitude/longitude. Raster tiles aren't converted.
- How large a file can I convert?
- Because conversion happens in your browser, the limit is your device's memory rather than a server quota — files up to tens of megabytes convert comfortably on a typical laptop. Very large datasets may be slower depending on your machine.
