How to convert GPX to GeoJSON

Three steps, no software to install. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile.

01

Upload your GPX file

Drop a .gpx file into the converter, or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are supported.

02

Convert in your browser

Click Convert to GeoJSON. The file is processed locally, so your data is never uploaded to a server.

03

Download your GeoJSON file

The GeoJSON file downloads straight to your device. Need another format? Pick a converter below.

Beyond conversion

GPX vs GeoJSON: what changes when you convert

GPX is built for exchanging GPS data between devices and apps. GeoJSON is built for web maps, APIs and JavaScript apps.

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.

GeoJSON

What is a GeoJSON file?

GeoJSON is an open standard (RFC 7946) for describing geographic features in JSON. Each feature pairs a geometry — point, line or polygon — with a set of properties.

It is the native format of web mapping libraries like Leaflet, Mapbox GL and OpenLayers, and of most geospatial APIs. The trade-off: plain text gets heavy for large datasets.

What to know before converting GPX to GeoJSON

Your GPX file

Waypoints, routes and tracks come through as separate layers; track points keep their elevation and time.

The GeoJSON output

GeoJSON expects WGS84 longitude/latitude, so coordinates are written in that system for maximum compatibility.

Privacy

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