Reverse a GPX route
Flip a route so you can follow it in the opposite direction — the geometry is reversed and, if it’s timed, the timing is mirrored so it stays a valid activity.
Drag a file anywhere onto the editor, or .
Nothing is uploaded — editing happens in your browser. Reads .gpx, .tcx, .fit, .kml and .kmz.
Fix GPS errors
Your watch drifted or teleported? Remove spikes that jump away and snap back.
Reduce points
Fewer points = a smaller file that fits your device's course limit. Re-run anytime — it always starts from your full track, so you can go up or down.
Advanced: spacing & simplify
Edit points
Elevation
This file has no elevation data.
Opt-in: sends only the coordinates of points needing elevation to the terrain provider. Your file is not uploaded.
Re-upload as new
Strava & Garmin reject re-uploads as duplicates. Shift the time or randomize the file ID so it uploads as new.
Plan a route
Click the map to drop points. Below zoom 12 the first click zooms in so you can place accurately.

Run or ride it backwards
Found a great route but want to do it the other way? Reverse turns the whole file around, across every segment, and re-sequences timestamps so each leg’s duration is preserved.

FAQ
Can I export it as a route for turn-by-turn?
Yes — choose “GPX route” under Download; some devices only give turn prompts from a route (rte) rather than a track.
