How raster data can be converted to KML? I have searched but could not find any answer. Are there any tools in Arc toolbox for such process ?

In the search box in ArcMap type, "To KML"; there are two tools.
- Layer to KML: "This tool converts a feature or raster layer into a KML file containing a translation of Esri geometries and symbology. This file is compressed using ZIP compression, has a .kmz extension, and can be read by any KML client including ArcGIS Explorer, ArcGlobe, and Google Earth."
- Map to KML: "This tool converts a map document into a KML file containing a translation of Esri geometries and symbology. This file is compressed using ZIP compression, will have a .kmz extension, and can be read by any KML client including ArcGIS Explorer, ArcGlobe, and Google Earth."

These tools were clearly created to convert images for use in Minecraft.... have you been satisfied with the results? IMO this is only an answer in theory.– MikeCommented May 11, 2016 at 18:38
Still not aware of any Arc tool that does this satisfactorily, but I posted a script here: Exporting 3GB ArcGIS Raster to KML without losing resolution?
