How to reverse a GPX file
- Open the GPX file: drop it onto the box above or tap “Choose files”. Track and elevation profile show up at once.
- Tap “Reverse direction”. Start and finish swap places on the map and the profile now runs the other way.
- Download the reversed track as GPX – or as FIT, KML or TCX for your device.
What happens when reversing?
All track points, segments and route points are saved in reverse order. Waypoints stay where they are. Timestamps are removed, because they would otherwise run backwards – many devices and apps reject such files. Elevations and names are kept.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is processed entirely in your browser and never leaves your device.
Why are the times gone afterwards?
A reversed track would have times running backwards. That is no longer a valid recording, so the timestamps are removed. You don’t need them for a planned route anyway.
Can I undo it?
Yes. “Undo” brings back the previous state while the page is open. The original file on your device is never changed.
