About Converting GPX to GeoJSON
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. When you need to move away from GPX, the usual reason is simple: track-oriented — no polygons, areas or fills.
Converting your GPX map file to GeoJSON solves that. 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. In practice you gain parsed natively by every web language and mapping library and arbitrary attribute data per feature. PrivConvert runs the whole GPX-to-GeoJSON conversion in server memory and deletes your file the instant the GeoJSON is ready — nothing is stored, logged or reused.
When this conversion helps
- You need parsed natively by every web language and mapping library
- You need arbitrary attribute data per feature
- You need standardised on WGS 84, removing projection ambiguity
- Sharing a GPX map file with someone whose software expects GeoJSON
Tips for best results
- After converting, open the GeoJSON 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 GPX files at once; each is processed privately and deleted immediately.
How to Convert GPX to GeoJSON Online
Turning a GPX file into GeoJSON is straightforward here — upload, convert, download. What you gain with GeoJSON: parsed natively by every web language and mapping library.
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.
Once uploaded, the conversion from GPX to GeoJSON starts automatically. The process runs entirely in an isolated environment - your data never leaves the secure pipeline.
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.
Private by design, not as an afterthought
Most online converters upload your files to a server, keep them for days, and may mine them for AI training or resale. PrivConvert was built the opposite way — around your privacy.
Every conversion runs in its own locked-down process with no network access, so files can never leak or interfere with one another.
Your files are handled entirely by automated code. No staff, partner or AI model ever reads, stores or trains on your data.
Files are processed in volatile memory (RAM) and purged the instant your download is ready — nothing is ever written to disk, cached or backed up.
Every upload and download is protected with TLS 1.3, so your file cannot be intercepted on the way to the server or back to you.
