Trip Recap
Photos and videos in, animated route map out
Runs entirely in your browser. Files never leave this device.
Turn trip photos into a route map video.
Trip Recap reads the GPS and capture times already inside your photos and videos, traces the roads between them, and exports a vertical MP4. Missing metadata stays visible, and inferred roads are kept apart from recorded points.
How it works
- 01 · Read
Metadata, not guesses
Capture times come from DateTimeOriginal or MediaCreateDate. Files without GPS or a time are flagged, never filled in.
- 02 · Trace
Roads between stops
Nearby shots cluster into stops. OSRM infers the driving route between them, kept apart from recorded GPS.

MP4 in the browser
Frames render with MapLibre and encode to H.264 with WebCodecs. 1080 × 1920 at 30 fps by default, cancellable at any point.
