What is a GDB file?
GDB (Geodatabase) is a spatial database format developed by Esri for storing, querying, and managing geospatial data. It can contain vector and raster data, topologies, relationships, and rules in a single logical database structure.
GDBs are used in GIS projects where complex data models and large datasets need to be organized efficiently. They can be either file-based or enterprise-grade databases integrated with ArcGIS tools.
How to open GDB files
GDB files are opened with Esri’s ArcGIS software, including ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro. Some open-source tools like QGIS offer limited support for FileGDB.
You can export data from GDB to SHP, KML, or GeoJSON using GIS software or convert with AnyConv where supported.

What is a KML file?
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML-based format used for representing geographic data in Earth browsers like Google Earth. It describes placemarks, paths, polygons, and other geospatial elements.
KML is widely used in mapping, environmental research, and tourism to display annotated geographic locations. Files can be extended with images, 3D models, and time-based data.
