I'm a software developer and sports enthusiast. I created these converters to help athletes manage their workout data efficiently.
Our FIT to GPX Converter extracts GPS coordinates, elevation, and heart rate from your Garmin FIT file and saves them as a standard GPX file — ready to upload to Strava, Komoot, RideWithGPS, or any mapping app. All processing happens in your browser; your file is never sent to a server.
What Data Is Preserved in the GPX File?
GPX is a GPS-focused format. Core location data is fully preserved; some device-specific metrics are not part of the standard GPX specification.
| Data Field | Preserved in GPX | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Coordinates (lat/lon) | Yes | Full precision, native GPX format |
| Elevation | Yes | Stored as <ele> in GPX trackpoints |
| Timestamps | Yes | ISO 8601 format per trackpoint |
| Heart Rate | Yes | Via Garmin GPX extension (gpxtpx:hr) |
| Cadence | Yes | Via Garmin GPX extension (gpxtpx:cad) |
| Speed / Pace | Yes | Via Garmin GPX extension (gpxtpx:speed) |
| Power (cycling/running) | Partial | Included via extension; not supported by all apps |
| Lap Markers | No | GPX has no lap concept; use FIT to CSV for lap data |
Where Can I Use the Converted GPX File?
GPX is the most universally supported GPS format — accepted by virtually every fitness platform, mapping app, and GPS device. Once converted, your file works with:
- Strava — upload via Activities > Upload Activity > choose GPX file
- Komoot — import as a planned or completed route
- RideWithGPS — upload for route sharing or activity logging
- Garmin Connect — import as a course or activity
- Wahoo & Hammerhead — load routes for navigation
- Google Earth — visualise your route in 3D
- GPX viewers — open in GPXSee, GPS Visualizer, or any mapping tool
Privacy & Security
All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your FIT file is never sent to a server — it is read from your device, processed in memory, and the resulting GPX file is written directly to your downloads folder. No account required.
