About TravelAnimator

TravelAnimator is a travel map animation app for iOS and Android. It turns a journey into an animated route video: add your stops, import a GPX file or paste a Google Maps link, then choose a 3D vehicle and a map style and export in HD or 4K. The whole job happens on your phone — no computer and no video-editing software.

Behind the scenes of this app is complex engineering with a focus on simplicity. We put in an extraordinary amount of effort to ensure your map story comes to life with a variety of models and props.

Our Story

TravelAnimator was born from a simple observation: travel creators were spending hours in desktop video editors just to add a short animated route sequence to their videos. We believed there had to be a better way — a tool that could turn any journey into a polished, animated route video in minutes, right from your phone.

What started as a side project quickly grew into a travel animation app, used by hundreds of thousands of travelers, vloggers, and content creators across more than 150 countries. From road trips across the United States to backpacking routes through Southeast Asia, TravelAnimator has helped bring millions of journeys to life.

What Makes TravelAnimator Easy to Use?

What makes it easy is what you never have to do: there is no timeline to scrub, no keyframes to set and no desktop export step. You add the stops, choose how the journey looks, and preview the finished animation before rendering it. These are the controls that get you there:

• Flexible route creation — Create animated routes by searching location names, entering coordinates, importing GPX files, or pasting Google Maps links directly into the app.
• 30+ map styles — Choose from over thirty 2D and 3D globe map styles, including terrain, satellite, and seasonal-themed maps for different storytelling needs.
• 300+ vehicle models — Access an ever-growing library of realistic 3D vehicle models including cars, planes, boats, trains, hot air balloons, and seasonal characters.
• Full customization — Personalize every detail with custom images, text overlays, place labels, and route line styles with adjustable colors and thickness.
• Fine-tuned controls — Adjust model size, animation speed, duration, country flags, distance units, and camera angles to match your creative vision.
• 4K and HD export — Export finished videos in ultra-high definition, optimized for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and professional presentations.
• Unlimited route saves — With a Pro subscription, save and manage as many routes as you want for future editing and re-export.
