Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert GPX to KML?
Upload your .gpx file and complete the quick security check. Each waypoint, route and track becomes a KML Placemark, then the KML downloads in seconds ready to open in Google Earth.
Will it open in Google Earth and Google Maps?
Yes. The output is standard KML 2.2 with Placemarks for points and LineStrings for tracks and routes, which Google Earth and Google Maps import directly.
Are names and elevation preserved?
Yes. Waypoint and track names/descriptions become the Placemark name and description, and per-point elevation is written into the KML coordinates.
Is my data safe and private?
Yes. The file is parsed entirely in server memory with a hardened, XXE-safe XML parser, never written to disk, never stored or logged, and deleted the moment your download is ready.
