Convert Shapefile files to GPX, online and free. GISConverter reads your Shapefile data locally in the browser and writes a GPX file so you can load it onto a GPS device or fitness app — nothing is uploaded, and your data never leaves your computer.

Shapefile is a vector GIS format, so it isn't always the format the next tool expects. Converting it to GPX lets you load it onto a GPS device or fitness app 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.
Shapefile (.shp): The Shapefile is the long-standing Esri vector format and remains the lingua franca of desktop GIS. A single “shapefile” is really a set of files that must travel together — at minimum .shp (geometry), .dbf (attributes) and .shx (index), usually with a .prj that records the coordinate system.
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.
Yes. GISConverter is completely free and runs in your browser — no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit.
No. Your Shapefile file is read and converted locally on your device with a GDAL engine compiled to WebAssembly, so it never leaves your computer.

A shapefile is really several files (.shp, .dbf, .shx, .prj) that must stay together, so GISConverter bundles them into a single .zip for download — and reads a zipped shapefile the same way on input.
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.
