TCX to GPX: what to expect

TCX is a fitness-specific format that plain GPS and map tools do not understand. GPX is read by practically every GPS device and fitness app. TCX is at home in workouts with laps, heart rate and cadence; GPX is the usual choice for GPS tracks, routes and waypoints.

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 TCX 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.

Questions

Are my activities uploaded anywhere?

No. The TCX to GPX conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting TCX to GPX?

The values are kept. Anything GPX has no way to express, such as formatting, formulas or nesting, is simplified or left out.

Can I convert several TCX files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert TCX to GPX on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

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 TCX file, press Convert and save the GPX. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

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.
