About Converting GeoJSON to GPX

GeoJSON encodes geographic features as ordinary JSON, standardised as RFC 7946. Because any language that parses JSON can read it, it has become the default format for web maps and geospatial APIs. When you need to move away from GeoJSON, the usual reason is simple: text-based, so heavy for very large datasets.

Converting your GeoJSON map file to GPX solves that. GPX is the open XML schema that GPS devices and fitness apps use to record where you went. It holds three distinct things: waypoints, routes you planned, and tracks you actually travelled, usually with a timestamp and elevation on every point. In practice you gain universal on gps units, watches and fitness platforms and preserves timestamps and elevation per point. PrivConvert runs the whole GeoJSON-to-GPX conversion in server memory and deletes your file the instant the GPX is ready — nothing is stored, logged or reused.

When this conversion helps

  • You need universal on GPS units, watches and fitness platforms
  • You need preserves timestamps and elevation per point
  • You need simple, well-documented open schema
  • Sharing a GeoJSON map file with someone whose software expects GPX

Tips for best results

  • After converting, open the GPX and skim the formatting — complex layouts occasionally need a small touch-up.
  • Files up to 250 MB are supported, and you can batch-convert several GeoJSON files at once; each is processed privately and deleted immediately.

How to Convert GeoJSON to GPX Online

Turning a GeoJSON file into GPX is straightforward here — upload, convert, download. What you gain with GPX: universal on GPS units, watches and fitness platforms.

1
Upload your GeoJSON file

Drag and drop your file into the upload area, click to browse your device, or paste a URL to a file hosted online. You can upload files up to 250 MB and batch convert up to 20 files at once.

2
Automatic conversion

Once uploaded, the conversion from GeoJSON to GPX starts automatically. The process runs entirely in an isolated environment - your data never leaves the secure pipeline.

3
Download your GPX file

Your converted file is ready instantly. Click the download button to save it to your device. The file is deleted from memory immediately after download.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert GeoJSON to GPX?
Upload your .geojson file and complete the quick security check. Points become waypoints and LineStrings become tracks, then the GPX downloads in seconds. No software or sign-up needed.
How are the geometry types mapped?
Points and MultiPoints become GPX waypoints; LineStrings and MultiLineStrings become tracks. Because GPX has no concept of an area, a Polygon is exported as a track following its outer ring.
Are elevation and names kept?
Yes where possible. A third coordinate value is written as GPX elevation, and a feature's name/description properties are carried into the waypoint or track.
Is my data safe and private?
Yes. The file is parsed entirely in server memory with a depth-limited JSON parser, never written to disk, never stored or logged, and deleted the moment your download is ready.
