Merge several GPX files, or split a track
Drop your files: several are joined into one track, a single one is split into parts. Nothing to choose beforehand — what you drop already says which. No account to create, nothing to install.
Your files never leave your device
Reading, joining, splitting and saving all happen in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is kept, no server ever sees your tracks. Close the tab and nothing of them remains.
How it works
Drop
One file, or ten. Your stages exported day by day, or the long track a device refuses to swallow in one go.
Join or split
Several files are joined in the order of their timestamps; a single one is split, at the breaks it already carries or into equal parts.
Save
Every file produced keeps your own name, numbered when there are several. It is written by the browser, straight into your downloads.
Why join, why split
Joining
A route recorded in several goes — a stage a day, or an outing cut short by a flat battery — fits into a single file, with its overall distance and elevation gain. It is also what a GPS expects when it loads one track at a time.
Splitting
A long track gets refused: too many points for a watch, too heavy for an older GPS, or simply too long for one day. Cutting it into stages gives files the device accepts and that you follow one day after another.
Nothing is shaved off either way: the path point by point, elevations, timestamps, the breaks between segments, the route name and the waypoints with their descriptions. The files produced are GPX 1.1, which watches, GPS units and outdoor apps read.
What this page cannot do
A browser does not walk down into a valley with no signal. GPX View keeps your tracks and maps on your phone, guides you along the way and records your outings — still with no account.
Frequently asked questions
- Are my files sent anywhere?
- No. They are read, joined or split and rewritten by your browser, and are never transmitted. You can cut your connection once the page has loaded: everything still works.
- In what order are the files joined?
- By recording time when every file carries one. If one of them does not, the order used is the one you picked — and the page tells you which of the two rules it applied.
- Does joining add kilometres between two files?
- No. The files are placed end to end without a line being drawn between the end of one and the start of the next: that line was never covered, and counting it would falsify the total distance.
- Do the split parts really meet?
- Yes: the point a cut falls on ends one part and starts the next. Loaded one after the other, the parts form exactly the original track, and their distances add back up to its own.
- Can GPX and KML files be mixed?
- Yes. The files dropped may be GPX, KML or TCX; what comes out is always a GPX, the format watches and GPS units read.
- Do I need an account?
- No, neither here nor in the app. There is no account to create, so nothing to remember and nothing to delete.
