KML file is a common file that Google Earth uses. Well, not only Google Earth, many GIS software supports KMLfile. In this article, I will show you how to import and export KML file in ArcGIS 10.6. We are going to use the Conversion Tool on ArcGIS/ArcMap to do this job done.

Import KML to ArcGIS 

First, open ArcMap and then go to System Toolbox >> Conversion Tool. Collapse the From KML tool and then double-click KML to Layer tool. It will open the KML to Layer conversion window. Browse your KML file and then specify where to save the output file. See the following picture

You may also want to specify the output data name (optional). Hit OK and you are done.
