Make a 3D video from your GPX file

Upload a GPX file and we fly a camera along your route over 3D terrain, slowing down at the places you mark to show your photos. It’s free for routes up to 200 km and you don’t need an account. If your app saves a different kind of file, there’s a note on that below.

What to upload

One GPX file per film. Most apps call the button Export, Download or Share, and GPX is usually one of the choices next to FIT or TCX.

Your app or watch › Export › GPX › Route to video

Open the ride, walk or route in the app that recorded or planned it and look for Export or Download. Some apps only have it on their website.
Pick GPX. If you’re offered a track or a route, take the track. It follows your line more closely.
Press Make your film and upload the file on the first step. The route appears on the map so you can check it before going on.

We only read GPX. A FIT, TCX or KML file won’t load, so go back and export GPX instead. Nearly every app offers it.
Times in the file are optional. A planned route with no times works too, and you choose bike, boots, car or boat yourself.
Named waypoints in the file can become your moments with one tap.
If the route is longer than 200 km, you pick the stretch to keep, or make a Premium film, which goes up to 2,000 km.

What’s in a GPX file

A GPX file is a plain text list of points, each with a latitude and a longitude, and often a height and a time. That’s all we need to draw your line and fly the camera along it. Your photos aren’t in the file. You add those yourself at the places that mattered, up to three at each one.

Where your GPX file might come from

Strava

Export it from strava.com in a browser. The app doesn’t have the button.

Garmin Connect

The gear icon on the activity page, then Export to GPX.

Komoot

The ··· menu on a tour, then Download GPX file. Planned tours work too.

Wikiloc

Download on the trail page, then the File tab. Choose the original trail.

Apple Watch

Apple has no GPX button. There are two free ways round it.

Ride with GPS

Export as file, then GPX Track. Not GPX Route.

Outdooractive

The three dots on a route, plan or track, then GPX.

Suunto

In the Suunto app, the three dots on a workout, then GPX.

COROS

In the COROS app, Export Data on the workout, then GPX.

Polar

On the Polar Flow website, the Export drop-down on a session.

Three steps, a few minutes

Add your route

Upload a GPX from your watch, bike computer or app, or trace it on the map. It follows roads and paths, or goes straight across water.

Add moments

A name, a line or two and up to three photos at each place that mattered. The film slows down and shows them.

Get your film

We make it and email you the link. Download it, post it, send it to everyone who came along.

Questions

Can I turn a GPX file into a 3D video for free?

Yes. Free films cover routes up to 200 km with up to 10 moments and three photos at each. You choose landscape, portrait or square, and there’s a short Pebbls end card. No card details and no account. We only need an email address to send you the link.

My app saves FIT, TCX or KML files. Can I use those?

No, Route to video reads GPX only. Almost every app that saves FIT or TCX can export GPX as well, usually from the same menu.

Can I join several GPX files into one film?

No. One film takes one GPX file. For a trip of several days, make a film of each day, or draw the whole route on the map instead.

Does my GPX need times in it?

No. A route you planned and never rode works fine. If the file has times, we use them to guess whether you walked, cycled or drove. If it doesn’t, you choose.
