A familiar loop, exactly reversed

Have you always ridden a route the same way and want to flip it? Or did your app hand you the route in the wrong direction? This tool reverses the direction of any GPX. The route stays the same, you just ride it the other way.

  1. Upload your GPX file in the sidebar
  2. Click "Reverse route and download"
  3. Load the reversed route into Strava, Komoot or your bike computer
Works for any route: loops, out-and-back and point-to-point. Elevation data is preserved.

Reverse a Komoot route in three steps

Want to ride or walk a Komoot route in the opposite direction? GPX gets it done in a minute:

  1. Open your route in Komoot and download it as a GPX file.
  2. Upload the file above and reverse the route.
  3. Load the reversed route onto your bike computer or watch, or import it back into Komoot.

The same works for routes from Strava, RideWithGPS or Garmin Connect: if you can export a GPX file, you can reverse it here.

Always double-check a reversed route for one-way roads and tricky crossings. A route that makes sense outbound doesn't automatically make sense on the way back.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reverse a route from Komoot or Strava?

Yes. Export the route as GPX, reverse it here and load it onto your device. The tool works with any GPX file, whichever app it came from.

Does anything change about the route itself?

No. Only the order of the points is flipped; distance and elevation stay exactly the same.

Are elevation and time kept?

Elevation, yes. Timestamps, no: reversed they would run backwards, and a GPS or Strava can't do anything with that.

Does this work with a recorded ride (a track)?

Yes. The tool reverses both planned routes and recorded tracks.
