Drop a file or paste text on the left, click convert, copy or download the result on the right.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Excel to GPX?
Open this page, paste your Excel text or drop your .xlsx file into the input panel, keep the dropdown set to Excel on the left and GPX on the right, then click Convert. The .gpx output appears on the right; copy it to your clipboard or download the file.
Is this Excel-to-GPX converter free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no watermark, no upload limits. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using open-source libraries.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter is fully client-side — your Excel file is parsed by JavaScript running in your own browser tab and never leaves your computer. We have no server-side processing for these tools.
What's the difference between Excel and GPX?
Excel (XLSX) is Microsoft's spreadsheet format. It carries the same tabular data as CSV but preserves column formatting and opens directly in Excel. GPX is an XML format built specifically for GPS hardware. It handles waypoints, routes, and tracks with timestamps and elevation.
Can I convert GPX back to Excel?
Yes — switch the dropdowns or open our /tools/gpx-to-excel/ page. We support every directional pair between KML, GPX, GeoJSON, CSV, and Excel.
