Remove Timestamps

The Remove Timestamps tool strips all time information from your track points, creating a timeless route.

When to Use

This tool is useful when:

  • You want to share a route without revealing when you recorded it
  • You're converting a recorded activity into a route template
  • The time data is incorrect or corrupted
  • You want to reduce file size slightly

How to Use

  1. Upload your GPX or FIT file
  2. Click the Remove Time button in the Tools section
  3. The timestamps are immediately removed
  4. Download your modified file

What Gets Removed

The tool removes the time element from:

  • All track points in the route
  • Route points (if present)

What's Preserved

Everything else remains intact:

  • Coordinates (latitude, longitude)
  • Elevation data
  • Waypoints and their timestamps
  • Sensor data (heart rate, cadence, power)
  • Metadata (name, description)

Notes

  • This action cannot be undone without reloading the original file
  • The button is only enabled if your track contains timestamp data
  • After removal, speed calculations won't be possible since they rely on time data
  • Exporting to FIT format will still work, but the file won't have time-based metrics
