DWG to All › CAD → GIS

CAD to GIS converter – DWG, DXF to KML, KMZ, Shapefile

One place to put an AutoCAD drawing or a SketchUp model on a map: pick the file, pick the coordinate system (VN2000, WGS84 or EPSG) or use the Add Location position, and get the format you need.

Who is it for?

Surveyors and cadastral engineers: put survey drawings and parcel extracts on Google Earth to check the position and send them to clients.
Planning and design consultants: view planning drawings and project layouts over satellite imagery and overlay them on existing conditions.
GIS users: load CAD drawings into QGIS or ArcGIS as Shapefiles with an attribute table.
Anyone who receives a DWG without AutoCAD: convert it to DXF or KMZ so it can be opened.
Architects and 3D modellers: put a SketchUp model (2021 or newer) on Google Earth or in QGIS, or convert it to GLB for 3D viewing, using its Add Location position.

Results are for viewing, checking and analysis; they do not replace the original drawing or any legal record.

Pick a tool

DWG → KML

Opens straight in Google Earth, Google My Maps and map apps.

DWG → KMZ

A zipped KML in a single compact file, easy to send by email or Zalo.

DWG → SHP

A Shapefile ZIP (points, lines, polygons) for QGIS, ArcGIS and other GIS software.

DWG → DXF

Turn DWG into an open DXF that many CAD and GIS programs can read.

DXF → KML

Opens straight in Google Earth, Google My Maps and map apps.

DXF → KMZ

A zipped KML in a single compact file, easy to send by email or Zalo.

DXF → SHP

A Shapefile ZIP (points, lines, polygons) for QGIS, ArcGIS and other GIS software.

DWG → PDF

Vector PDF from A4 to A0 to publish online or print at the right scale, with CAD layers kept as PDF layers.

DXF → PDF

Vector PDF from A4 to A0 to publish online or print at the right scale, with CAD layers kept as PDF layers.

SKP → KML

SketchUp 2021+ models on Google Earth, at the Add Location position.

SKP → KMZ

Like KML but zipped into one compact file for a SketchUp model.

SKP → SHP

Faces become PolygonZ and loose edges PolyLineZ in a Shapefile ZIP for GIS.

SKP → GLB

A standard glTF 3D model (metres, Y-up), with latitude, longitude and rotation.

Which output should I choose?

Output	Use it for	Opens in	Keep in mind
KML	Viewing in Google Earth; each layer is a Folder you can toggle.	Google Earth, Google Earth Pro	WGS84 coordinates; no text and no attribute table.
KMZ	Sharing by Zalo or email: same content as KML in one compact zipped file.	Google Earth, Google Earth Pro	Same as KML; pick KMZ when you need a small file.
SHP (ZIP)	Analysis in GIS: filter by layer, measure areas, overlay on cadastre.	QGIS, ArcGIS	Separate point, line and polygon files; fields layer, etype, handle, text; WGS84 coordinates with .prj.
DXF	CAD handoff: open a DWG in other software without AutoCAD.	CAD or GIS software that reads DXF	Keeps the source coordinates and attaches no CRS; DWG input only.
GLB	Viewing a SketchUp model in 3D in glTF viewers, Blender, web apps or game engines; the file carries latitude, longitude and rotation to place it on a map.	glTF viewers, Blender, game engines	SketchUp input only; metres, Y-up; no textures; the Location Snapshot and Location Terrain layers are always left out.
