About FIT files
The .FIT extension most commonly refers to the Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer file, a highly compact binary format engineered by Garmin to store complex fitness data, including GPS coordinates, heart rate variability, and power meter metrics. While efficient for embedded devices, the format's binary nature makes it impossible to read with standard text editors and limits direct access to your data without specific proprietary software. Users frequently face compatibility hurdles when moving data between ecosystems (e.g., from a Garmin watch to Apple Health or a custom database). To overcome this, the best practice is converting .FIT to GPX or TCX for universal import into platforms like Strava and TrainingPeaks, or to CSV for detailed performance analysis in Microsoft Excel.
Alternatively, in scientific contexts, .FIT represents the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) used by astronomers to store photometric data. These files often appear blank or corrupt in standard photo viewers due to their high dynamic range and specialized headers. For these files, converting to TIFF preserves data integrity for archiving, while JPG or PNG is recommended for easy web viewing and sharing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FIT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TCX, CSV, GPX, FITS, ZIP, GZ, ERG, PROD-1, 1200-FIT, TXT, MRC, KML and XLSX files.
The FIT Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FIT converter.
