Turn CAD drawings into a GPX file for GPS devices and navigation apps. Free, private and processed right in your browser.
Three steps, no software to install. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile.
01
Drop a .dxf file into the converter, or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are supported.
02
Click Convert to GPX. The file is processed locally, so your data is never uploaded to a server.
03
The GPX file downloads straight to your device. Need another format? Pick a converter below.
Converted your DXF file? Upload it to GISCARTA and turn it into an interactive map your team or clients can actually use.
Colour by attribute, cluster thousands of points, switch on 3D.
Charts and key numbers next to the map, updated as you filter.
Animate dated features and compare how places change.
Publish a read-only map, embed it on your site, or keep it private with role-based access.
No credit card. No GIS degree. Upload your data and start mapping in minutes.
DXF is built for exchange with AutoCAD and engineering tools. GPX is built for exchanging GPS data between devices and apps.
DXF
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is Autodesk's open format for sharing CAD drawings, introduced with AutoCAD in 1982. It stores lines, polylines, arcs, text and blocks organised in layers.
DXF is the bridge between GIS and engineering teams. It carries geometry well, but attribute tables and coordinate system information are usually lost or limited.
GPX
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.
Your DXF file
DXF files don't record a coordinate system, so you may need to assign the right one after conversion. Text and blocks may not become standard map features.
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.
Your file never leaves your device: conversion runs in your browser, for files up to 100 MB.
Send DXF data to Garmin devices and sports watches for navigation in the field.
Open the routes and points in Komoot, OsmAnd, Gaia GPS and similar apps.
Turn DXF site locations into waypoints so field teams can navigate to each one.
Every converter runs in your browser and keeps your files on your device.
