GPX to KML Converter
GPS Exchange Format (GPX) is the format used by Garmin, Strava, Komoot, Wahoo, OsmAnd, and every other GPS device or fitness app. Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is what people sharing places with Google Earth users or importing into Google My Maps need. This free converter takes a GPX file and produces a ready-to-use .kml on the spot — everything runs in your browser, so your data never touches our server. 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 GPX to KML?
Open this page, paste your GPX text or drop your .gpx file into the input panel, keep the dropdown set to GPX on the left and KML on the right, then click Convert. The .kml output appears on the right; copy it to your clipboard or download the file.
Is this GPX-to-KML 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 GPX 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 GPX and KML?
GPX is an XML format built specifically for GPS hardware. It handles waypoints, routes, and tracks with timestamps and elevation. KML is an XML-based format from Google. It supports rich styling, folders, and 3D extrusions, but it's tied to Google Earth conventions.
Can I convert KML back to GPX?
Yes — switch the dropdowns or open our /tools/kml-to-gpx/ page. We support every directional pair between KML, GPX, GeoJSON, CSV, and Excel.
