Drop KML files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the GPX, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The KML to GPX converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your map files are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
GPS watches, bike computers and hiking apps read GPX, while routes drawn in Google Earth or My Maps are saved as KML. Placemarks become waypoints and paths become tracks. GPX has no polygons, so areas come out as outlines.
Every format is read into plain GeoJSON features and written out from there, so coordinates, names and properties carry over wherever the target has a place for them. XML that declares custom entities is refused, and KML files are parsed without touching the network. Points become waypoints and lines become tracks; GPX has no areas, so polygon outlines are written as track segments. Elevation and time are kept.
KML is the format of Google Earth. It stores placemarks, lines and areas with names, descriptions and styling in XML, and can add camera paths for tours. It became an Open Geospatial Consortium standard in 2008. A KMZ is the zipped form.

KML converterGPX is the open XML format for GPS data and the common language of hiking, cycling and running apps. It records waypoints, planned routes and recorded tracks with time and elevation. Almost every GPS device and app can import and export it.

No. The KML to GPX conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
The values are kept. Anything GPX has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the KML file, press Convert and save the GPX. There is nothing to install.
Yes. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
