GPX → KML

Convert your GPS tracks and waypoints from GPX to KML format instantly for use in Google Earth and mapping tools.

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is widely used by hiking devices and sports watches for recording raw track logs, waypoints, and routes. KML (Keyhole Markup Language), developed by Google, is designed for visualization in geographic software like Google Earth. Converting GPX to KML translates XML-based geographic coordinates into placemarks, paths, and polygons that rendering engines can easily display with custom styling.

Coordinates and timestamps are preserved accurately, though device-specific sensor metadata (like heart rate or cadence) may be dropped or mapped to generic extended data.

Tips

Simplify dense GPS tracks before converting to improve rendering performance in Google Earth.
Ensure your GPX file contains valid timestamps if you plan to use KML time-slider features.
Check that route names and waypoint descriptions are properly encoded in UTF-8.

Common use cases

Visualizing hiking tracks and cycling routes in Google Earth Pro.
Preparing GPS coordinates for GIS presentations and client reports.
Sharing custom travel itineraries with users who prefer Google Maps or Google Earth.

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.
