Convert KML to GPX in your browser

Both formats are open XML in WGS 84, so this is a direct, honest rewrite done on your machine: Google Earth placemarks become GPX waypoints, and paths become tracks with elevation kept where it exists.

L'outil et les libellés sont en français. Les notes de référence ci-dessous restent en anglais.

Étape par étape

  1. 1Drop the .kml file above. (For a .kmz, unzip it first and use the doc.kml inside.)
  2. 2Download the .gpx and load it onto your GPS unit, or into QGIS, Civil 3D or a survey app.
  3. 3Check that single points arrived as waypoints and paths as tracks — that mapping is what most GPS units expect.
  4. 4Confirm the coordinate system on import: KML is always WGS 84, so reproject if your drawing is in a local grid.

Points de vigilance

  • Styling, icons, descriptions and polygons have no GPX equivalent: names, coordinates and elevations are what carry across.
  • Polygon rings arrive as tracks rather than closed areas, because GPX has no polygon type.
  • Very large KML exports are fine here — the work is local, so there is no upload limit.
KML — Keyhole Markup Language

Google Earth's XML format for points, paths and polygons in WGS 84 coordinates.

GPX — GPS Exchange Format

The open XML format GPS units and survey apps use for waypoints and tracks.

Questions fréquentes des dessinateurs

Can it read KMZ files?

Not directly. KMZ is a zipped KML; unzip it and drop the doc.kml.

Are elevations preserved?

Yes, where the KML carries a third coordinate value it is written as <ele> in the GPX.
