GPX → GeoJSON

Convert your GPS Exchange Format (GPX) tracking data into GeoJSON format instantly. This tool is essential for web developers, GIS analysts, and mapping enthusiasts.

GPX is an XML-based standard specifically designed for storing waypoints, tracks, and routes collected by GPS devices and fitness trackers. GeoJSON, on the other hand, is a lightweight format based on JSON designed for representing geographic features with non-spatial attributes, making it the native choice for web mapping libraries like Leaflet and Mapbox. Converting GPX to GeoJSON transforms hierarchical XML track points into flat, structured JSON geometries that browsers can render effortlessly.

Geometric coordinates, elevation data, and timestamps are accurately preserved during conversion, though track segments may be restructured into standard LineString or MultiLineString geometries.

Why ConvertX stays free — forever

We built this project so anyone can convert files without paywalls, accounts, or hidden limits. Here is what that promise means in practice.

🎁

Free tools today — and always

Every converter on ConvertX is free to use: no trials, no premium tiers, and no credit packs. We will never put core conversion features behind a subscription. Whether you convert one photo or a hundred files a week, the price stays zero.

🔒

Privacy-first processing

Many image, audio, and video conversions run entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device for those jobs. When server processing is required for documents or specialized formats, uploads are handled securely and removed automatically — typically within one hour.

🗺️

GIS & maps

Geographic and spatial data layers.

Common extensions: GeoJSON, KML, SHP, GPX, GPKG

Advantages
  • + GeoJSON is native to web maps
  • + KML works with Google Earth
  • + Shapefiles are common in GIS workflows
Disadvantages
  • SHP needs multiple sidecar files
  • Coordinate systems must match the target
  • Large datasets need simplification
🖼️

Images

Raster and vector graphics for web, print, and photography.

Common extensions: PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, SVG, HEIC, TIFF

Advantages
  • + WebP and AVIF offer excellent compression for the web
  • + PNG keeps transparency and sharp edges
  • + SVG scales without quality loss
Disadvantages
  • RAW and TIFF files are large and slow to share
  • JPEG loses quality on every re-save
  • Some formats are not supported in older browsers
📄

Documents

Office files, PDFs, ebooks, and plain text.

Common extensions: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, EPUB, TXT

Advantages
  • + PDF locks layout for printing and sharing
  • + DOCX and ODT are easy to edit collaboratively
  • + Plain text works on any device
Disadvantages
  • PDF is hard to edit without special tools
  • Complex layouts may shift after conversion
  • Scanned PDFs need OCR for editable text
🎬

Video

Clips, streams, screen recordings, and movies.

Common extensions: MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, MPEG

Advantages
  • + MP4 (H.264/H.265) plays almost everywhere
  • + WebM is efficient for web embedding
  • + MKV can hold multiple audio and subtitle tracks
Disadvantages
  • High-resolution video needs lots of storage and bandwidth
  • Re-encoding always takes time and may reduce quality
  • Some codecs require licensing for commercial use

Frequently asked questions

No, elevation (Z-axis) values are preserved within the coordinate arrays if they were present in the source GPX file.
Yes, multiple tracks and waypoints are combined into a single GeoJSON FeatureCollection containing individual features.
GeoJSON natively integrates with JavaScript objects and web APIs, rendering much faster in modern browsers without needing XML parsing.
