Technical note

What changes when you convert KMZ to ICO

KMZ coordinates are positions on the earth, tied to a stated reference system, and each feature carries its own row of attributes. ICO 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 KMZ original if anything downstream needs to query or reproject the features. KMZ 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 ICO 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

A map saved as ICO opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from KMZ in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to ICO 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.
