Split an activity in two

Your file never leaves your device — conversion happens here in your browser.

Sometimes one recording actually covers two separate activities — you forgot to stop the watch at the end of a ride before starting a run, or a long day out is really a warmup and a main effort that you'd rather log and analyze separately. Split takes one file and produces two from it, breaking at a point you choose in whichever way is easiest for the situation: a specific time into the recording, a specific distance covered, or simply clicking the point on the map where the split should happen, which is often the fastest option when the natural break point is a location — the top of a climb, a trailhead, the spot where you turned around. Both resulting files are complete, independent activities in their own right, each keeping the sensor data, timestamps, and elevation for its portion of the original recording, so neither one comes out as a stripped-down fragment of the other. This is effectively the mirror image of merge, which does the opposite job of combining files, and the two are often used together — split a mis-recorded activity into its real pieces, then merge the correct piece with a separate recording of the same effort if one exists. Split works across the formats this site handles, so a FIT file, a GPX track, or any of the others can be divided the same way. The whole operation happens locally, inside your browser, with no upload involved at any point — the file being split, along with wherever your route happens to have gone, never leaves your device. Free for files up to 25 MB, three per batch.

Questions

What are my options for choosing where to split?

By elapsed time, by distance covered, or by clicking the exact point on the map — whichever is easiest given why you're splitting.

Do both files from a split keep their sensor data?

Yes — each resulting file is a complete, independent activity with the full position, elevation, timestamp, and sensor data for its portion of the original recording.

How is split different from trim?

Trim discards a section from the start or end and keeps only the rest. Split keeps everything, just divided into two separate files at your chosen point.

Can I split a FIT file, or only GPX?

Split works across FIT, GPX, TCX, CSV, and GeoJSON — the source format doesn't limit which files can be split.
