Supported GPS formats
GPX
The most common GPS exchange format. Garmin Connect, Strava, Komoot, Apple Watch exports, and many hiking apps use GPX. Convert GPX to IGC when you need a flight file.
FIT
Garmin's binary sports format from watches, Edge computers, and inReach. Convert FIT to IGC to use a Garmin track in a paragliding logbook.
KML
Google Earth's format. Convert IGC to KML to view a flight in Google Earth, or KML to IGC when you only have an Earth track.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert GPX to IGC?
Upload the .gpx file, leave the output on IGC, and download. The converter reads track points, elevation, and timestamps and writes a standard IGC B-record file.
Can I convert a Garmin FIT file to IGC?
Yes. Export the activity from Garmin Connect or copy the .fit file from your watch, then convert it here. Points without GPS coordinates are skipped.
Are converted IGC files valid for competitions?
No. Converted files are not signed by an approved flight recorder, so they are not valid for FAI or XContest scoring. Use them for visualization, logbooks, and sharing — not official claims.
Do you upload my flight to a server?
No. Parsing and conversion run in your browser. The file never leaves your device. That is also why the tool works without an account.
Can I convert IGC to GPX or KML?
Yes. Upload an IGC file and choose GPX (Strava, maps, most GPS apps) or KML (Google Earth). FIT export is also available for Garmin-style workflows.
