Turn a GPX file into a video
Upload the GPX track from your ride, run, hike, or flight and AvoMap draws it over real 3D terrain. You watch the animation immediately in the browser, adjust what you want, and export an MP4 in up to 4K. KML works too.
GPX to video in three steps
- 1Upload. Open the editor, click "Select GPS File", and choose your GPX or KML file. The track appears on the 3D map in seconds.
- 2Adjust. Press play for an instant preview. Set the duration, pick a map style, add markers, and let the dynamic camera follow the route.
- 3Export. Render the video as an MP4 in 1080p or 4K at 60 fps, then download it.
Your track, not an approximation
Exact track
The video follows your recorded coordinates point by point. Waypoints in the file are picked up automatically.
3D terrain
Elevation from the GPX plays out over satellite imagery. Climbs look like climbs.
Elevation profile
An animated altitude chart, calculated from your file with one click.
Your styling
12 map styles, 22 route colors, 100+ markers, your own logo if you want it.
Flat lines don't do a mountain justice
A GPX file carries elevation, and AvoMap uses it. The track climbs and descends over satellite terrain while the camera flies alongside. An animated elevation profile is one click away.
More about the animated map makerA browser alternative to GPX Animator
GPX Animator is a solid open-source desktop app. It's also a Java download, its output is a flat top-down animation, and every tweak means re-rendering. AvoMap does the same job in the browser with 3D terrain and a live preview: change a color or camera angle and you see the result immediately. The trade-off is honest β GPX Animator is free to export, AvoMap charges per finished video and gives you a free unlimited editor.
Where your GPX files live
Every major tracking app exports GPX. Strava has a GPX download on each activity page, and AllTrails exports routes the same way. Garmin, Komoot, and Wahoo devices all speak GPX natively. Got a KML or KMZ from Google Earth instead? Use the free KML to GPX converter first, or upload the KML directly.
