Start and end of the route

Trimming follows the track's travelled distance. It does not delete every point inside a straight-line radius.

Trim from the start Trim from the end Reduce coordinate precision

Rounding coordinates reduces precision but does not guarantee that a home or other sensitive place is hidden.

Removing metadata or reducing precision cannot guarantee complete anonymity. Review the cleaned track before publishing it.

Questions before sharing

GPX privacy FAQ

What personal information can a GPX file reveal?

A GPX can contain precise coordinates, activity times, elevation, named waypoints, author details, device information and sensor data. Repeated start and end points may also reveal a home, workplace, marina or regular meeting place.

Does a GPX file contain timestamps?

Many recorded GPX files attach an exact time to every track point. This tool checks for time fields and can remove all of them from the cleaned copy.

How can I hide my home location in a GPX track?

You can trim a chosen travelled distance from the start and end, then optionally lower coordinate precision. This reduces exposure but cannot prove that a location is anonymous. Review the result before publishing.

Is my GPX file uploaded?

No. Parsing, scanning, cleaning and file creation happen locally in your browser. Anonymous usage events never include the file name, coordinates, timestamps or GPX content.

Does removing timestamps make a GPX file anonymous?

No. The route itself, waypoints, start and end positions, metadata and extension fields may still reveal sensitive information.

Will the cleaned file still work in Garmin, Strava, Komoot or other apps?

The cleaner preserves the GPX document, namespaces, tracks, routes and segment structure. Compatibility varies by service and by the data you choose to remove, so no universal import guarantee is made. Keep the original and test the cleaned copy in your intended service.
