Cut a track in two, merge several GPX files, fix elevation, reverse a route or build one from scratch. Everything happens in your browser — no install, no account, no data ever leaving your device.
No retouched screenshot: this is the interface exactly as it renders when you load a GPX file.
Gravel cyclists, trail runners, long-distance hikers, kayakers: every feature answers a concrete route-preparation or track-cleanup problem.
Drop points on the map and routing calculates the path for your activity — road cycling, MTB, trail or hiking. The elevation profile builds live. Free-hand drawing is available for off-network areas and stretches of water.
Drag and drop one or several files. Garmin FIT reads directly, with no prior conversion. Several tracks can sit in the same session and be edited together.
Pick up a recorded route and add kilometres to either end, with automatic routing. Handy for turning a familiar outing into a longer loop.
Cut in two with a click on the map or the elevation profile. Or split automatically at regular intervals — every 10 km, every 2 hours — to prepare the stages of a multi-day trip. Each segment becomes an independent file.
Merge glues your files end to end, automatically reordering segments so the ends meet. Combine analyses intersections between crossing tracks and suggests up to 5 viable loops.
Flip a route with one click, move the starting point on a loop, warp the track with tags, or switch to point-by-point editing to remove GPS glitches one at a time. Everything is undoable.
Interactive profile as soon as you import: hover the curve to find each climb on the map, select an area to extract a segment. Gradient colouring highlights steep sections before you set off.
The track is coloured by real surface type sourced from OpenStreetMap: tarmac, compacted, gravel, dirt, grass, cobbles, rock. A chart gives the percentage breakdown — you'll know which tyres to fit.
7-day forecast on the route and at its highest point. OpenStreetMap points of interest along the track: huts, campsites, fountains, bakeries, pharmacies. And side-by-side comparison of two variants, with overlaid profiles.
Wrong altitudes are recalculated from a digital elevation model — EU-DEM / Copernicus in Europe (25 m), SRTM elsewhere. And the Douglas-Peucker algorithm shrinks a 50,000-point file to 3,000 with no visible distortion.
Standard GPX export compatible with Garmin, Wahoo, Suunto, Bryton, Polar, Coros, Strava, Komoot and RideWithGPS. Or a printable A4 PDF road book with topographic map, profile and waypoint table.
Generate a unique link and its QR code. Your riding companions open the track in their browser, check the profile and download the GPX — no account needed on their side, nothing to install.
An elevation profile tells you how much you'll climb. 3D relief shows you what it actually looks like.
GPX Edit Pro reads files from your GPS devices and sports apps: Garmin, Wahoo, Suunto, Bryton, Polar, Apple Watch, Coros, Sigma and many others.
What doesn't show at first glance, but makes itself felt from the second session onwards.
Pick the profile that matches your outing: road cycling, MTB, trail or hiking. The engine calculates a realistic path on the right network — a gravel rider and a touring cyclist don't get the same roads.
Import tracks that cross each other. The algorithm builds a graph from the intersections, discards dead-end turnarounds and suggests up to 5 viable loops from that path network.
Real ground-surface detection across 7 categories (tarmac, gravel, dirt, grass, rock…) via PMTiles vector tiles. Percentage breakdown shown on the track.
Elevation correction relies on tiled topographic data: EU-DEM / Copernicus for Europe (25 m resolution, the most precise freely available), SRTM for the rest of the world (90 m). The calculation runs directly on your track's coordinates — without sending the file to a server.
7-day forecast for any point on your track. If the route climbs, a separate panel shows conditions at the route's highest point.
Search along your track for every useful shop: supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, petrol stations, fountains. And accommodation too: campsites, mountain huts, hotels, guesthouses. Filter by category, view them on the map, add a stop in one click. Essential for planning a self-sufficient crossing.
Your work stays in the browser. Reload the page without losing tracks you're mid-edit on. Close the tab — everything disappears cleanly, nothing stays on any server.
Questions asked by cyclists, trail runners and hikers before editing their GPS tracks.
Import your file, enable the Cut tool, then click on the map or on the elevation profile. The track splits into two independent files, exportable separately.
Import your files at the same time, select them in the track list, then click Merge. The assembly order can be optimised automatically so the ends meet. A single GPX file comes out, ready to export.
Merge glues tracks end to end. Combine analyses intersections between several crossing tracks and generates up to 5 viable loops with no dead-end turnarounds — useful for assembling small local routes (trail paths, MTB loops, hiking tracks) into bigger loops.
In the Analyse panel, enable Surface by colour. The track is coloured by real ground cover: tarmac, compacted, gravel, dirt, grass, rock. A chart shows the percentage breakdown.
Weather button in the Analyse panel. 7-day forecast for the starting point. If your route climbs, a dedicated panel shows conditions specific to the top of the track.
Select your track and click Reverse. The route flips in one click — handy for turning an outbound leg into a return leg.
Use Fix elevation in the Edit panel. Elevations are recalculated from digital elevation models: EU-DEM / Copernicus for Europe (25 m precision), SRTM for the rest of the world (90 m). No file is ever sent to a server.
Simplify in the Edit panel. The Douglas-Peucker algorithm reduces the number of points while keeping the track's overall shape. Set the tolerance in metres and see the result live — a 50,000-point file can drop to 3,000 with no visible distortion. Essential for GPS devices with limited memory.
Click Draw / Route in the toolbar, then drop points on the map. Routing calculates the path automatically (road, bike, trail, hiking). Export to GPX once it's ready.
Import your .fit file directly — GPX Edit Pro reads Garmin FIT files with no intermediate conversion. The elevation profile and statistics show up immediately. Then export to standard GPX, compatible with every sports platform.
Cut at the start of the section to remove, then at the end. Delete the middle piece. Merge the two remaining pieces back together. Or switch to Edit points mode to remove points one by one.
Split at intervals in the Edit panel. Choose a distance (every 10 km, say) or a duration (every 2 hours) — each segment becomes an independent track, exportable on its own. Handy for preparing the stages of a multi-day trip or tour.
The tool uses tiled elevation data: EU-DEM / Copernicus for Europe (25 m resolution, the most precise freely available) and SRTM for the rest of the world (90 m). The correction applies point by point on your track, without sending the file to a server.
Enable Points of interest (POI) and filter by category: mountain huts, guesthouses, campsites, fountains, supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, petrol stations, car parks, passes, summits. Click a POI to automatically detour your track through it, then rejoin the main route. Essential for planning food stops and accommodation on a multi-day trip.
The elevation profile shows as soon as you import a file. Enable Gradient by colour to see steep sections on the map — green for flat stretches, red for severe climbs.
Open the 3D visualisation from the editor, or directly on its own dedicated page, then load your file. The terrain is rebuilt from a digital elevation model with the track placed on it, at the correct relief. You can rotate the landscape, overlay several variants to see which one actually skirts the slope, and run a flyover video that follows the route start to finish.
Yes. GPX export uses the universal format, compatible with Garmin Connect, Wahoo ELEMNT, Suunto, Bryton, Polar, Coros, Sigma, Apple Watch (via Workouts), Strava, Komoot and RideWithGPS.
No, unless you create a share link. Import, editing, analysis and export all happen entirely in your browser: your files never leave your device. The one exception is sharing — a track or a 3D view — which stores the route in a JSON file hosted on the server, since otherwise the recipient couldn't open the link. Optional features (weather, elevation correction, routing, POIs) send only the coordinates needed for the calculation, with no personal data.
Yes. The interface is optimised for mobile with a tool dock at the bottom of the screen and touch-friendly buttons. Works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, on Android and iOS. Every editing, analysis and export feature is available on a phone.
Yes. GPX Edit Pro is entirely free: no adverts, no account to create. Every feature is available with no restrictions — editing, surface analysis, weather, PDF export, activity simulation and sharing.
Practical advice for cyclists, trail runners and hikers who want to master their GPX files.
Before you load up your bags, knowing whether you're riding on 60% tarmac or 70% dirt track changes everything about how you prepare. GPX Edit Pro colours your GPX track by real surface type pulled from OpenStreetMap: tarmac, compacted gravel, dirt track, grass, rock. A chart shows the exact percentage breakdown. Result: you set off with the right bike, the right tyres and the right pressure.
Your Garmin Edge or Forerunner records every outing in FIT format. To edit that file — remove a failed there-and-back, cut the first few warm-up kilometres, fix altitude glitches caused by a poor barometric signal — you need a GPX editor that can read FIT directly. GPX Edit Pro imports your .fit with no intermediate conversion, shows the full elevation profile, and lets you cut, fix and re-export to standard GPX, ready to upload to Garmin Connect or send to Strava.
The ascent shown on most platforms is often wrong — raw, unfiltered GPS altitudes, glitch points caused by tree cover or a bridge underpass. For a reliable ascent figure, two steps: correct the altitudes from a digital elevation model (EU-DEM, 25 m for Europe), then read the interactive profile. In GPX Edit Pro, hover the curve to find each climb on the map, spot steep sections through gradient colouring, and select an area on the profile to extract a segment — useful for isolating a climb before a reconnaissance.
On a multi-day tour — crossing the Alps, a Massif Central circuit, the Pyrenees by bike — logistics depend on what's along the route. GPX Edit Pro shows OpenStreetMap points of interest directly on the map, filtered by category: supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, campsites, mountain huts, guesthouses, petrol stations. Click a POI to see its distance from the track. One click recalculates your route to pass through it, then rejoin the main track. Add waypoints with personal notes to remember opening times or contacts. It all exports into the final GPX file with standard <wpt> tags — visible on your Garmin or Wahoo GPS.
You don't need Komoot or Strava to plot a route. GPX Edit Pro offers a routing engine right in the browser, with nothing to install. Pick your profile — road cycling, MTB, trail, hiking — then click the map to drop waypoints. The optimal path is calculated automatically between each point, following roads and trails suited to your activity. You can also draw free-hand for off-network areas. As you trace, the elevation profile builds live: ascent, distance, maximum altitude are visible before you've even finished. Export to standard GPX once the route suits you.
Prepared a route and want to share it with your group without going through a third-party platform? GPX Edit Pro generates a unique share link for every track, along with a QR code — handy to display on a screen or print on a route sheet. Whoever you send it to opens the link in their browser: the track shows straight away on the map with the elevation profile, no account or sign-up needed on their end. They can explore it, check the statistics and download the GPX file to load onto their own GPS. No data is stored server-side beyond the shared file itself.
GPX Edit Pro offers an activity simulator with 7 sport profiles: hiking, trail running, road cycling, gravel, MTB, kayak and stand-up paddle. Enter your age, weight and an effort level (easy, moderate, intense), and the tool calculates an estimated duration using the Naismith formula, calibrated segment by segment — climbs slow you down, gentle descents speed you up. The simulation also returns an estimated average and maximum heart rate based on your physiological inputs, plus an average cadence per sport. For water-based activities (kayak, SUP), the ascent correction is switched off — only distance counts. Ideal for calibrating water supplies, food stops or timings before a multi-day tour.
Facing two options — going over the main pass or round via the valley, taking the direct road or an alternative with less ascent — the figures quoted on most platforms aren't enough to decide. GPX Edit Pro lets you import both files at once and open the comparison panel to see side by side: total distance, ascent, descent, maximum altitude, estimated duration, average speed. Both tracks show at the same time on the map in distinct colours, with their elevation profiles overlaid. Turn on surface detection on each to also compare the proportion of tarmac and trail — useful before a gravel or MTB route.
Older-generation Garmin Edge units, entry-level GPS watches and some Wahoo devices have a points-per-file limit. A GPX from a long recording (an ultra, a multi-day hike, a cycling tour) can pass 50,000 points and cause slowdowns or a loading failure. The built-in Douglas-Peucker algorithm reduces the point count while keeping the track's overall shape: bends are preserved, straight lines simplified. Set the tolerance in metres and watch the result live on the map before confirming — a 5 m setting often takes a file from 40,000 down to 3,000 points with no visible distortion.
A good hiking route is prepared before you set off: the path plotted, the ascent checked, the ground surface looked at, the weather anticipated. This guide walks through the six steps in order, from a blank map to a GPX file ready to take out on the trail.
Cut, merge, fix elevation or build your route in a few clicks. No installation, no account.

Architecture. The editor is a web application with no framework and no application server: HTML, CSS and JavaScript run in your browser. Reading GPX, FIT, TCX and KML files, editing, ascent calculation, simplification and export generation all happen entirely client-side. No account, no user database.
Libraries used. Leaflet (mapping), Three.js (3D relief visualisation), jsPDF and html2canvas (PDF export), JSZip (archives). These libraries are served from the site's own domain, not from a third-party CDN. Typefaces (Archivo, JetBrains Mono) are hosted locally: no request is ever sent to Google Fonts.
External services called. These services receive only the geographic coordinates needed for the requested calculation — never your file, never any personal data: OpenStreetMap and map-tile providers; BRouter and OSRM for route calculation; Nominatim for search and reverse geocoding; the Overpass API for points of interest; Open-Meteo for forecasts; EU-DEM / Copernicus and SRTM for elevation correction; PMTiles vector tiles for surface detection.
Hosting and storage. Site hosted with OVHcloud (France). Track sharing relies on flat JSON files, with no database. The source code is not public.
