About

GPX

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML-based GPS data exchange format and the de facto standard for exchanging data between GPS devices and applications. GPX supports three core data types: Waypoints (single location points), Routes (ordered path point sequences), and Tracks (GPS-recorded point sequences with timestamps). GPX files can be generated by various GPS devices, sports watches, and mobile apps.

GeoJSON

GeoJSON is a geospatial data interchange format based on JSON. It can represent Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon, and GeometryCollection geometries. Defined by RFC 7946, GeoJSON has become one of the most popular data exchange formats in web GIS. GeoJSON files use WGS84 coordinates and support Feature objects with associated properties and FeatureCollections for organizing multiple features.

Conversion trade-offs

GPX: limitations to know

  • Larger file sizes, many track points generate large files
  • Only supports point data, no polygons or complex geometries

GeoJSON: what you gain

  • Human-readable, easy to manually edit and debug
  • Supported by virtually all GIS software and mapping libraries
  • Naturally suited for web applications and API data transmission

Why convert GPX to GeoJSON?

Every GPS device, fitness watch, and hiking app writes GPX — it is the universal exchange format for tracks and waypoints recorded in the field. But to analyze that data, map it with Leaflet, or combine it with other layers, you need GeoJSON. Converting GPX to GeoJSON turns recorded tracks into LineString features with elevation and time data attached, and waypoints into named points — ready for web maps, spatial analysis, or storage in PostGIS.

Frequently asked questions

Are tracks, routes, and waypoints all converted?

Yes — each track becomes a LineString feature, each route becomes a LineString, and each waypoint becomes a Point, all in one FeatureCollection.

Is elevation data kept?

Yes, elevation is stored as a coordinate z-value and as an explicit elevation property for easy access.

Are timestamps preserved?

Track point times are kept as ISO timestamp properties, so time-based analysis still works after conversion.

GeoJSON at a glance

Key Features

  • Based on standard JSON, natively supported by all programming languages
  • Supports multiple geometry types: Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPolygon, etc.
  • Can carry attribute data and supports FeatureCollection for batch organizing features

Common Use Cases

  • Data exchange for web maps and online mapping services
  • Geospatial data storage and display in mobile applications
  • Sharing and transporting GIS data across platforms

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your GPX file — drag and drop it onto the page, or browse from your device. You can add several files at once for batch conversion.

  2. 2

    The conversion runs automatically in your browser. No upload, no server — your data stays on your device the entire time.

  3. 3

    Download the GeoJSON file. Each input produces its own output, ready to use in your GIS, web map, or archive.
