About GE files
GE file types are primarily associated with Google Earth, a popular geospatial software that allows users to visualize satellite imagery and geographic data. These files often come in formats such as .kml (Keyhole Markup Language) and .kmz (compressed KML), which are used for storing map locations, annotations, and 3D model data.
Converting GE files can be a complex task, especially when dealing with detailed geographic information. Users may need to convert these files to formats like .gpx (GPS Exchange Format), .shp (Shapefile), .csv (Comma Separated Values), or .json (JavaScript Object Notation) for compatibility with different GIS software or to integrate with other mapping tools.
For desktop solutions, QGIS and Google Earth Engine are powerful tools that allow for conversion and manipulation of GE file formats. However, these programs have steep learning curves and require installation and system compatibility considerations.
Conversion challenges include maintaining data integrity, especially with complex 3D models or detailed annotations. Some drawbacks of GE files are their large size, which can complicate sharing and storing, and their dependence on specific software for viewing and editing.

The GE Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GE converter.
