Convert KMZ to GPX
A KMZ is a zipped KML file, the default from Google Earth and Google My Maps. This unzips it and turns the routes and pins into a GPX file.
Other formats work here too: GPX, KML, KMZ, GeoJSON and TCX.

Questions
What is a KMZ file?
A KMZ is a KML file zipped up, sometimes with images such as custom icons. Google Earth and Google My Maps save KMZ by default.
My KMZ has several files inside. Which is used?
The main KML file: the one at the top level of the zip, usually called doc.kml. Images and other files inside are ignored.
Are the icons and colours kept?
No. GPX has no styles, so you get the lines as tracks and the pins as waypoints, with their names and descriptions.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your file never leaves your device. Nothing is sent to a server or stored.
