GPX to GeoJSON Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
GPX is the GPS track format: waypoints, routes and recorded tracks with timestamps, written by every watch, phone and bike computer. Convert SHP/KML/GPX into GeoJSON to feed Leaflet, Mapbox or any web map.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.
How GPX compares to GeoJSON
| GPX | GeoJSON | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Waypoints, routes, tracks | FeatureCollection JSON |
| Types / schema | lat/lon/ele/time points | Point / LineString / Polygon |
| Compatibility | Watches, phones, bike computers | Leaflet, Mapbox, QGIS, PostGIS |
| Best for | Recorded movement data | Web maps and data pipelines |

About the GPX format
GPX is the GPS exchange format: an XML file with waypoints, routes and — most importantly — <trk> tracks of timestamped coordinates. Every sports watch, phone app and bike computer exports it, which makes it the common denominator of “where have I been” data.
Converting GPX to GeoJSON puts the track on an interactive map; converting to CSV turns it into rows you can pivot, chart or join with sensor data.
+ Strengths
- ✓Universal across GPS devices and apps
- ✓Timestamps enable pace and speed analysis
- ✓Simple XML, easy to post-process
! Limitations
- −No styling or basemap context
- −Large tracks make big files
About the GeoJSON format
GeoJSON is the map format the web agreed on: a FeatureCollection of points, lines and polygons, each carrying arbitrary properties, in plain JSON. Leaflet, Mapbox, D3, QGIS and PostGIS all consume it directly, which is why almost every GIS workflow ends with “export as GeoJSON”.
Converting the older formats into GeoJSON (SHP, KML, GPX) is the bridge from institutional and device data into anything a browser can draw.
+ Strengths
- ✓Consumed by every web mapping library
- ✓Plain JSON — easy to filter and edit
- ✓Properties travel with the geometry
! Limitations
- −Verbose for huge datasets
- −No built-in styling or symbology
Why convert GPX to GeoJSON?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of GeoJSON meet what GPX cannot give you. Consumed by every web mapping library Meanwhile No styling or basemap context One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this GPX to GeoJSON converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for GPX to GeoJSON?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Are formulas, styles or multiple sheets converted?
No — this conversion extracts the data itself into GeoJSON. Formulas are exported as their current values, styling is not carried over, and multi-sheet workbooks convert sheet by sheet. For full fidelity between spreadsheet formats, exchange within the same tool family.
Is my data safe here?
Yes. The conversion is plain JavaScript running in your tab: the data is parsed and re-serialized in memory, never sent anywhere, and disappears when you close the page.
