About

MIF/MID

MapInfo MIF (MapInfo Interchange Format) is MapInfo's data exchange format. MIF files store geometric graphics data, and MID files store corresponding attribute data. Unlike TAB format, MIF/MID is a plain text format more suitable for cross-platform data exchange. Many GIS software use MIF/MID as a bridge for interacting with MapInfo data.

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.

Conversion trade-offs

MIF/MID: limitations to know

  • Large file sizes, slow loading speed
  • Style support not as complete as TAB format

GPX: what you gain

  • Supported by almost all GPS devices and apps for import/export
  • Human-readable, allows manual editing of routes and waypoints

Why convert MIF/MID to GPX?

Converting MIF/MID to GPX is one of the most common workflows in GIS. MIF/MID data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while GPX is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your MIF/MID files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean GPX output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.

Is the MIF/MID to GPX converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting MIF/MID to GPX?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your MIF/MID file uses a projected CRS (like UTM), you can search any EPSG coordinate system by keyword or code and reproject in one step. Note: output formats that require WGS84 by specification (KML, KMZ, GPX) always reproject to WGS84 automatically.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drop several MIF/MID files at once and each one produces its own GPX output.
