Fix common GPX import issues, remove vendor-specific clutter, and export a cleaner GPX for devices and apps. Processing happens locally in your browser.

Why clean a GPX file?

GPX files often include extra fields that are useful in one app but cause problems in another (failed imports, huge files, or unexpected private metadata like timestamps). Cleaning makes a “plain GPX” that tends to import more reliably.

Removes timestamps, metadata, and vendor extensions (optional)
Removes duplicate sequential points (optional)
Exports a cleaned GPX that’s easier to share and re-import

FAQ

Will this remove private location details?

This tool removes selected GPX fields (like timestamps, metadata, and extensions). It does not change the underlying GPS track geometry unless you use a separate tool to crop/simplify.

Why do some GPX files have lots of extensions?

Many devices and apps add vendor-specific data under <extensions>. Removing extensions can improve compatibility when importing into other platforms.

What does “keep only lat/lon/elevation” do?

It strips per-point fields except <ele>, leaving just coordinates (and elevation if present).
