How to convert GPX to GeoJSON

  1. Drop your GPX file into the box above (or click to browse).
  2. The GDAL engine loads once and reads the file right in your browser.
  3. Pick GeoJSON as the output, set a coordinate system if you need one, and click Convert, then download the result.

Why convert GPX to GeoJSON?

GPX comes from GPS devices and outdoor apps, so it isn't always the format the next tool expects. Converting it to GeoJSON lets you display it on a web map or pass it through a web API without redrawing or re-collecting anything. Because GISConverter runs a full GDAL engine in your browser, the geometry and attributes carry across faithfully, and the file never leaves your device.

About the formats

GPX (.gpx): GPX is the open XML standard that GPS devices and fitness apps use to record waypoints, routes and tracks. Nearly every handheld GPS, running watch and mapping app can import or export it, which makes it the common language for outdoor and navigation data.

GeoJSON (.geojson): GeoJSON is an open, JSON-based standard (RFC 7946) for encoding vector features and their attributes. It is human-readable, works natively in JavaScript, and is the default vector format of the modern web-mapping stack, so nearly every web map and API speaks it.

Tips & things to know

Frequently asked questions

Is the GPX to GeoJSON converter free?

Yes. GISConverter is completely free and runs in your browser — no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Your GPX file is read and converted locally on your device with a GDAL engine compiled to WebAssembly, so it never leaves your computer.

What is GeoJSON?

GeoJSON is an open, JSON-based standard (RFC 7946) for encoding vector features and their attributes.

What is a GPX file?

GPX is the open XML standard that GPS devices and fitness apps use to record waypoints, routes and tracks.

Can I set the coordinate system?

Yes. Output defaults to EPSG:4326 (WGS84 longitude/latitude). Enter any EPSG code, such as EPSG:3857, in the coordinate-system box to reproject on the way out.
