What is a GPX file?
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML-based file format used to store GPS data, including waypoints, tracks, and routes. It’s widely supported across GPS devices, mapping applications, and fitness trackers.
GPX files are used for outdoor navigation, trip logging, and sharing geospatial data. They are both human- and machine-readable, making them easy to inspect and edit.
How to open GPX files
GPX files can be opened with GPS devices, Google Earth, Garmin BaseCamp, and mapping software like QGIS. Text editors can also display GPX contents in raw XML.
Convert GPX to KML, KMZ, or CSV using AnyConv or specialized GIS tools for better integration into different platforms.

What is a KML file?
KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML-based format used for representing geographic data in Earth browsers like Google Earth. It describes placemarks, paths, polygons, and other geospatial elements.
KML is widely used in mapping, environmental research, and tourism to display annotated geographic locations. Files can be extended with images, 3D models, and time-based data.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
- Why should I convert GPX to KML?GPX is the standard format for GPS devices and route-tracking apps like Komoot or Garmin. Converting to KML makes your routes compatible with Google Earth and Google Maps, where you can visualize and plan them more easily.
- Can I use the converted KML file in Google Earth?Yes. Many users create or record routes in Komoot, then convert them to KML to view or edit in Google Earth. It’s perfect for reviewing or sharing your tracks.
- Will my route stay accurate after conversion?Yes, the converter preserves your GPS points, paths, and elevation data. In rare cases, very detailed GPX tracks may produce a few straight-line segments in KML, but overall route accuracy remains excellent.
- Can I batch convert multiple GPX files to KML?Yes. You can upload several GPX tracks at once, and our online converter will generate individual KML files for each in one simple step.
- Can I edit my KML routes after conversion?Absolutely. Once converted, your KML files can be opened and modified in Google Earth - you can rename routes, adjust paths, or add new waypoints easily.
- Is it safe to convert GPX to KML online?Definitely. All files are encrypted during transfer, processed only for conversion, and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after.
