How to import a route
Use the same bookmark on a Strava activity or a Wikiloc trail. Choose Automatic to save it, or Manual for platform-specific export steps.
One bookmark for Strava and Wikiloc
Save Send to TrailReplay once. It recognizes the open site and loads the route in a new TrailReplay tab.
Drag the orange button to save it, or copy its code for a bookmark you create yourself.

If you use the bookmarks bar
Drag the orange Send to TrailReplay button above onto the bar. You can hide the bar again after saving it.
Show or hide the bar in Chrome: ⌘ + Shift + B on Mac, or Ctrl + Shift + B on Windows/Linux.
If you keep the bookmarks bar hidden
Click Copy bookmark code above. In Chrome, open Bookmarks and lists → Bookmark Manager, choose ⋮ → Add new bookmark, name it Send to TrailReplay, and paste the code into its URL field.
On the Strava or Wikiloc route page, use Chrome’s Bookmarks and lists → Show all bookmarks to find and select your saved bookmark.

Choose Send to TrailReplay
Select your saved bookmark from the bookmarks bar or browser bookmarks menu. It opens TrailReplay in a new tab with the route loaded.
- 4
Start editing
Review the imported route, add your story and camera moves, then export your video.
The bookmark reads the route in your browser and passes the GPX between tabs. TrailReplay does not upload it to our servers.
Use a desktop browser and allow the new TrailReplay tab. Strava needs a signed-in session with access to the activity. Wikiloc needs a loaded map, with no sign-in required.

Terrain-aware 3D
Use terrain, camera movement, and elevation to give the route geographical context.
Automatic or manual Strava import
For automatic import, save Send to TrailReplay from the guide on this page. Open an exportable Strava activity while signed in, then select the bookmark on that activity page. TrailReplay opens the route in a new tab without a separate download step.
If you prefer a file, open your activity on Strava, select the three-dot action menu, choose Export GPX, and upload the file to TrailReplay. Strava may limit GPX export for activities that do not belong to you.
A timestamped activity file produces the most faithful replay. If timestamps are unavailable, TrailReplay can still visualize the route and create an animation using the playback settings you choose.
Common questions
Does TrailReplay connect to my Strava account?
No account connection is required. The bookmark uses your signed-in Strava browser session to export an activity you can access. You can also download its GPX and import it manually.
Can I use a Strava route instead of an activity?
Yes, if you can export it as GPX. Activity files usually contain richer timing data.
Is my Strava GPX uploaded?
The route is parsed locally in your browser by default and is not uploaded to TrailReplay servers.
Your route already has a story.
Turn it into a replay you can share.
