Change GPX timestamps

Shift, set — or create times for a track that never had any.

🔒 What happens to your file: Your file is sent to the Reisezoom server for processing, handled there and deleted immediately — nothing is stored. In detail: what goes where.

Want to turn this into a video?

The free desktop app animates your track as a map fly-through video, makes elevation animations, tour images and photo geotagging — all in one, for YouTube & Reels.

Step by step

  1. Load the track

    Drop the file above — recorded or planned, with or without existing times.

  2. Pick what to do

    Shift for time zones and camera sync · new start keeps the pace but moves the whole tour · duration stretches or squeezes it · target pace invents times for tracks that have none.

  3. Apply

    The result shows the new start, end, duration and average speed — check them before downloading.

  4. Continue

    Now the track works for photo geotagging and in every analysis tool. Merging several days? Merge GPX handles overlapping times for you.

Wrong time zone on the action cam, a watch still on winter time, or a planned route with no times at all that your photo tool refuses to accept — track timestamps cause more grief than any other field. This tool has four modes: shift everything by hours, set a new start time while keeping the pace, force a total duration, or create timestamps from a target pace, distributed along the real distance.

FAQ

What happens to my file?

Your file is sent to the Reisezoom server for processing, handled there and deleted immediately — nothing is stored. So that the web tool and the desktop app arrive at the same number, both use the same component — and that one runs on the server.

My track has no times — which mode?

“Create from target pace”. Pick a realistic speed (hiking ≈ 4–5 km/h) and every point gets a clock, spread along the actual distance — dense sections don't get artificially slow.

Which mode for camera sync?

“Shift everything”. If your photos land one hour ahead of the track, shift the track +1 h (or fix it directly in the geotagging tool, which has its own offset).

Does shifting change my track?

Only the times. Positions, elevation and point count stay identical — pace and duration too, since every point moves by the same amount.

Is faking times cheating?

Creating times makes a route usable in tools that require them. It does not create a real activity — uploading such a file to a competition platform as a genuine effort is on you.
