How to Add Labels in Travel Animator

Travel Animator offers a feature to add labels to mark specific locations, indicate where your route begins, etc., now with more natural, customizable, and visually engaging options, helping you guide viewers clearly through your journey.

Whether you’re a travel blogger, tour operator, or creating your travel itinerary, utilising the labels makes your videos more professional and engaging on social media.

This article will explain Travel Animator’s labels, their use cases, and how to remove them.

What is the Label in Travel Animator?

The label represents the text you can place in each destination and stop on your animated map. It appears directly on the animated map, helping viewers understand where your journey begins, where it ends, and what happens in between. 

For example, if you are traveling from Spain to Paris, you can add labels to mark both locations or include context such as Starting Point and Final Destination.

Labels are fully customizable and can be used not just for decoration but also for storytelling, making your animation more informative and engaging.

What’s New in Label Feature (2026 Update)

The latest updates have significantly improved the label feature, making it more flexible and creative.

  • You can now customize text color to match your theme or branding.
  • Choose from different font styles to enhance visual appeal.
  • Add frames or backgrounds around text for better visibility.
  • Adjust the label duration to control how long they appear in the animation.
  • Resize labels easily using improved size controls.
  • Enjoy a cleaner, faster label-editing interface with real-time preview.

These improvements allow you to create more polished and professional-looking travel videos.

What Can You Label in Travel Animator?

  • Destinations – You can add labels to highlight cities, countries, or specific places you visit during your journey.
  • States or Regions – Labels can be used to show broader geographical areas when your route covers multiple regions.
  • Transportation Type – Describe your travel mode using labels such as “Flying to Dubai” or “Road trip to Goa.”
  • Travel Services – Travel agencies can use labels to showcase routes and transport options for clients.
  • Custom Notes – You can add creative or fun notes like food experiences, travel highlights, or personal comments to make your video more engaging.

Steps to Add a Label in Travel Animator

1.Open the Travel Animator app and load your saved route or start a new project.

2. If you are starting from scratch, add your destinations manually, import a GPX file, or paste a Google Maps link.

3. Choose the stop or destination to which you want to add the label.

4. Long-press the stop and tap Add Media from the options.

5. Enter your text and optionally add an image.

6. Customize the label by adjusting text color, font, size, frame, and duration.

7. Click the blue tick to apply the label to your destination.

8. Preview your animation and adjust elements such as map style, ratio, model size, and duration as needed.

9. Export your animated video in HD quality or upgrade to Pro for 4K export and advanced features.

Tips for Better Labelling

  • Avoid placing labels too close to each other, as it can make the animation difficult to read.
  • Maintain a consistent format throughout the video, such as using only city names or a specific style of text.
  • Use labels as part of your storytelling instead of just adding random text.
  • Ensure labels do not overlap by keeping enough spacing between stops.
  • Always preview your animation before exporting to make sure everything looks clean and readable.

How to remove labels in Travel Animator?

  1. Long-press the destination point with a label to open the add media menu. 
  2. Go back through the steps to set up the label. 
  3. Once you have reached it, remove the text and click the blue tick. 
  4. The label will be removed from your animation.

Make Your Travel Story Clearer with Labels

Travel Animator can customise the text for each destination or stop. By using them effectively in the Travel Animator app, you can create animations that are not only visually appealing but also easy to understand and engaging to watch.

If you want to unlock advanced customization options, better visuals, and 4K export quality, upgrading to the Pro version will give you everything you need to create professional-level travel animations.
