TCXtoGPX
Convert TCX to GPX
Up to 3 files at once, 100 with Pro. Mixed formats are fine.
You can convert TCX to GPX free and without an account: drop the file above and the GPX is ready to download in a second or two. The conversion happens inside your own browser, so the file is never uploaded — it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, and keeps working with the network switched off.
What TCX and GPX are for
Garmin training data — heart rate, laps and cadence alongside the track.
The universal track and route format. What every GPS watch and hiking app exports.

- Quality
- The result is a close reconstruction rather than an exact copy. Check it before relying on it.
- Where it runs
- This conversion runs inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded, and it works with the network disconnected.
- What can be lost
- Positions, elevation and timestamps are carried across. Sensor streams, styling and embedded imagery are not.
TCX to GPX: common questions
- Are my TCX files uploaded anywhere?
- No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.
- Is converting TCX to GPX free?
- Yes, without a limit on how many files you convert and with no watermark on the result. Files up to 100 MB are covered by the free plan.
- Does converting TCX to GPX lose quality?
- TCX and GPX describe content in fundamentally different ways, so the conversion is a reconstruction rather than a copy. The result is faithful, but not byte-for-byte equivalent. Positions, elevation and timestamps are carried across. Sensor streams, styling and embedded imagery are not.
- Do I need to install anything to open GPX files?
- No installation is needed for the conversion itself — it runs in the browser you already have. Opening the GPX afterwards needs whatever software normally handles GPS Exchange Format on your device.
