Convert your Fitbit data from Google Takeout to Garmin-compatible .fit files and Fitbit CSV imports for steps

Best-effort conversion — Fitbit's export data is messy, so test with one file first. Here's what can go wrong.

As the service grew, there has been a lot of abuse and an exponential increase in the running cost of what I believe to be a quality service. Requiring sign-in lets me enforce fair limits per person instead of guessing who you are from your IP address.

I only use your Google account to identify you. I do not access your Fitbit data, your Google Drive, or anything else — just your name and email.

Your conversion files are still processed the same way — nothing changes except that I now know who’s who.

Quick Answer

Convert daily Fitbit step totals into a CSV file for Garmin Connect. The selected date and time zone can change which day receives a total, and Garmin keeps existing data when it already has data for that day. Upload up to 3 files per batch.

Key Features

  • Daily step count preservation (totals)
  • CSV output for Garmin's Fitbit import path
  • Multi-year history support
  • No limit on data age (supports 2010-present)
  • Selected date and time-zone review
  • No transfer of minute detail, badges, or streaks

Important Limitations

  • Garmin Connect will only import steps for days where no step data already exists. If you already have step data for a date, the import will be ignored.

About this converter

TrackerSync combines accepted steps-YYYY-MM-DD.json entries into daily totals and produces one CSV file for Garmin's Fitbit import workflow.

Your selected date and time zone affect day boundaries. Check a small range when records near midnight appear on an adjacent day.

If Garmin Connect already has step data for a day, Garmin gives its existing record precedence and may ignore the imported total.

Upload up to 3 files per batch. Minute-level detail, badges, streaks, and unrelated metrics do not transfer in the daily-total CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How far back can I import step data?

There's no limit. If you have 5+ years of Fitbit step history in your Google Takeout, you can convert and import all of it to Garmin Connect.

Will hourly step breakdowns be included?

Garmin's Fitbit CSV import accepts daily totals, not hourly breakdowns. This converter exports daily step totals for the most reliable import.

Can I still sync my Garmin device after importing Fitbit data?

Yes, but Garmin gives existing daily data precedence. Check for duplicate or already-populated days before importing.
