Technical note

Before you convert KML to PPM

KML coordinates are positions on the earth, tied to a stated reference system, and each feature carries its own row of attributes. PPM is a picture: the coordinates become pixel positions and the attribute table is dropped entirely. That is fine for illustration and no use as data, so keep the KML original if anything downstream needs to query or reproject the features. KML describes geometry rather than pixels, so it has no inherent resolution. The conversion renders it at whatever size you choose, and that choice is final: enlarging the PPM afterwards will not recover the sharpness. Set the output dimensions or DPI before converting, not after.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see KML data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to PPM for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to PPM with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

KML to PPM Conversion

What are KML files?

The KML format uses a variant of the XML language, called Keyhole Markup Language, to manage geospatial data. It is used for rendering detailed maps by browsing applications such as Google Earth. The KLM format supports various handy features, including placemarks, paths and ground overlays, and can be edited with any text editor.

What are PPM files?

PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
