KMZ at a glance
KMZ
Convert to KMZ when a KML-based map needs embedded images, icons, or overlays to move together as one deliverable.
It is the right target for portable Google Earth projects, offline map bundles, and shareable geospatial packages that recipients should be able to open without relinking external resources.
INI at a glance
INI
Convert to INI when the target system expects straightforward sectioned configuration that humans can edit easily without complex tooling.
It is useful for app settings, legacy integrations, and small configuration surfaces.
For nested structured data or richer schemas, JSON, TOML, XML, or YAML may be more suitable.
