File Conversion
Convert GPX to GeoJSON online
Convert GPS Exchange Format (GPX) — the GPS track and waypoint format exported by Garmin devices and fitness apps — into GeoJSON, which is the open, web-native JSON format read by Leaflet, Mapbox and virtually every modern GIS tool. Drop your GPX file below, GeoJSON is already selected as the output, and download the result. Everything runs in your browser and the cloud; you never install anything.
GPX uploads are temporarily offline while we rebuild support for GPS track files. The rest of the converter works normally — check back soon.

Why convert GPX to GeoJSON with MapGO?
Most online converters take one file and hand back one file. MapGO is built on a real geospatial engine, so a single upload can do more:
- Several outputs in one upload — tick GeoJSON and any other formats you need; every selected format is delivered from the same file.
- Files up to 5 GB — far beyond the browser-based converters that choke past a few hundred megabytes.
- Reproject while you convert — set a source and target EPSG code and the coordinate system is changed during the conversion, no second tool needed.
- Private by default — files are deleted automatically after 48 hours.
GPX vs GeoJSON at a glance
| GPX | GeoJSON | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use | GPS tracks and waypoints from Garmin, Strava, Wahoo and outdoor apps | Web maps and APIs (Leaflet, Mapbox, D3); human-readable data in git |
| Size on disk | Light XML | Verbose plain text — the largest of the common formats, but gzips well |
| Attribute support | Fixed schema (elevation, time, name) — no custom fields | Flexible JSON properties — nesting and arrays allowed |
| Software support | GPS devices, fitness platforms, most GIS tools | Every modern GIS tool and every web mapping library |
| Web-friendliness | Needs conversion for web maps | Excellent — the native format of web mapping |
Other ways to convert GPX to GeoJSON
You don't need an online tool for this. If you have GDAL installed, one command does it:
ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" output.geojson input.gpxIn QGIS (free): open your GPX via Layer → Add Layer, then right-click the layer → Export → Save Features As… and pick GeoJSON as the format.
The MapGO converter above is for when you don't want to install anything, need to convert to several formats at once, or are handling files too large for a desktop machine — drop the file and download the result.
GPX to GeoJSON: frequently asked questions
Is the GPX to GeoJSON converter free?
Yes — new accounts get free conversion credits to start, and every paid plan converts unlimited files within its size limit. There is nothing to install; the whole GPX-to-GeoJSON conversion runs in the cloud.
Is my data kept private?
Conversion is fully automated and your file is never shared. Files are deleted automatically after 48 hours. Download your GeoJSON result and it's yours to keep.
What does the GeoJSON output contain?
You get a clean GeoJSON file with your geometry and attributes preserved, ready to open in the tools that read GeoJSON.
Which parts of a GPX file convert — tracks, routes or waypoints?
A GPX file can hold waypoints (single points), routes (planned paths) and tracks (recorded paths) side by side. Tracks are what fitness apps like Strava or Garmin Connect export — the recorded line of your activity — and they convert to line geometry with the point attributes preserved.
Which coordinate system will the GeoJSON output use?
By default the output keeps your source coordinate system; pick EPSG:4326 (WGS84) as the target if you want spec-standard GeoJSON that works immediately in Leaflet, Mapbox and other web libraries. MapGO reprojects during the conversion — no separate step needed.
