If your KML contains pop-up descriptions or metadata, a pure raster MBTiles conversion will "burn" that data into the image, making it unselectable. If you need clickable features, you need (using the MVT specification), which is a more advanced workflow.
If your KML has styling, first render it to a GeoTIFF using QGIS or Mapnik. For simple data, skip to Step 3. convert kml to mbtiles
After conversion, what do you do with the .mbtiles file? If your KML contains pop-up descriptions or metadata,
: Click the upload button or drag and drop your KML file into the designated area. You can upload multiple files or a ZIP/7z archive if needed. For simple data, skip to Step 3
: Some online converters require UTF‑8 encoded KML files. Convert your KML file to UTF‑8 using a text editor or command‑line tools like iconv before uploading.
Note: QGIS vector MBTiles export requires the mbtiles driver – check that it’s enabled.
