CSV vs GPX: what changes when you convert

CSV is built for spreadsheets, databases and BI tools. GPX is built for exchanging GPS data between devices and apps.

CSV

What is a CSV file?

CSV (comma-separated values) is plain text where each line is a row and commas separate the columns. Location is stored in coordinate columns, such as latitude and longitude, or as WKT geometry text.

Every spreadsheet, database and BI tool reads CSV, which makes it the universal hand-off format. It has no data types, styles or coordinate system metadata.

GPX

What is a GPX file?

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an open, XML-based format for GPS data. A single file can hold waypoints, routes and tracks, with coordinates in WGS84 latitude and longitude.

Almost every GPS device, sports watch and outdoor app exports GPX, which makes it the default format for sharing recorded trips. Because it is plain XML, large track logs get bulky and slow to search.

What to know before converting CSV to GPX

Your CSV file

The CSV needs coordinate columns (latitude/longitude or X/Y) or a WKT geometry column, so every row can be placed on the map.

The GPX output

GPX holds only points and lines — polygons can't be stored — and only standard fields such as name and description are guaranteed to survive.

Privacy

Your file never leaves your device: conversion runs in your browser, for files up to 100 MB.
