KML Doctor
KML and KMZ repair for Mac
About the app
A simpler way to get it done.
KML Doctor checks a document's structure, coordinates, geometry, styles, and KMZ resources, then shows where each issue occurs and whether it can be fixed safely. Re-analysis after repair shows fixed, remaining, and new issues.
KML Doctor helps identify why a map will not open, displays incorrectly, or is rejected by another program. Open a KML or KMZ file for a clear list of structural, coordinate, geometry, style, and archive issues. Review safe fixes, save a corrected copy, and export a report without altering the original.

Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Does KML Doctor modify my original file?+
No. The repair workflow saves a corrected KML or KMZ as a separate copy in a location you choose.
Can every problem be fixed automatically?+
No. Safe changes can be applied, suggested changes are shown for review, and ambiguous coordinates or broken links are left for you to resolve.
Can I check multiple files?+
Yes. Select a folder to analyze its KML and KMZ files, review each result, and save processed copies to another folder.
Are my files uploaded?+
No. File analysis and repair happen on your Mac. Opening the optional map view may require a network connection for Apple Maps tiles.
