Hi James, there are no embedded jpg's in your KML. The KML file is just an XML text file that be opened with any text editor. There maybe some links to image files stored on a server somewhere.

Hi John,

 

Thanks for your reply, but is there any other way we can render kml image as a jpeg image 

[GTrek]

If you are referring to the image that the kml will produce then open it in google earth and save that screen image. I can't think of another way.

Hi John.

Thanks once again, but do we have any 3rd party tool like Mapnik which can render KML as image, please let me know if you have any idea on this. Thanks

No, I would use google earth. What exactly are you trying to do ?

Hi John,

I want to render the KML as an image and store it in my location, so even if its offline and searching for the location, this offline rendered will be shown. 

My requirement is that i need to render KML to image and store it in local drive. Please help me in this.

What would be the background be for this image? 

KML usually contains data to be overlaid on some sort of map, rather KMl containing all the map data. 

Seems like that is a more important question - how to source base imagry, or mapping, rather than plotting a (relatively) small amount of data. 

Once you have mapnik or what ever rendering your base map, its a small step to add the KML data (maybe tranforming it some other format first)
