Timeline Generator & Visualizer turns the Timeline export you already have from Google Maps into a beautiful animated journey video — entirely on your phone. Pick a trip, choose a style, and watch your route come to life with a moving marker, live map, and cinematic camera work. No account, no upload, no cloud processing: your location history never leaves your device.
Whether it's a weekend road trip or a year of travel, Timeline Generator & Visualizer finds the trips hiding in your Timeline export automatically — no manual pin-dropping, no re-entering dates you've already tracked once.
KEY FEATURES
🗺️ Automatic Trip Detection
Import your Timeline.json and the app clusters your points into trips on its own — filtering GPS outliers, bridging flight gaps with great-circle arcs, and suggesting a date range for each trip it finds.
🎬 6 Style Presets for Every Platform
Reel (9:16, 30s) for Instagram Reels and TikTok, Story (9:16, 15s) for a quick share, Cinema (16:9, 60s) for YouTube, Square (1:1, 30s) for feed posts, Postcard (1:1, still) for a single journey-overview image, and Diary (1:1, 90s) for a denser, stat-forward look. Each preset bundles the aspect ratio, camera behavior, duration, and compression that suits it.
🎚️ Advanced Controls When You Want Them
Four camera modes, five long-trip compression curves, adjustable trip-detection sensitivity, and a local-framing dead-zone for smoothing out commute jitter — all one tap away in an Advanced drawer, never in your way by default.
▶️ Live, Scrubbable Preview
Drag through the exact frames your video will contain before you render — change a setting and watch the preview update instantly, so you're never guessing.
📼 Rendered On Your Phone, Not a Server
Video encoding runs entirely on-device. No upload queue, no server processing your location history, no waiting on someone else's infrastructure — just your phone's own hardware encoder.
📚 A Library That Remembers Your Work
Every render lands in your video library with thumbnail, period, duration, and style. Save named projects to re-render the same trip in a new style with one tap.
📤 Export the Way You Actually Post
Up to 4K resolution, 24/30/60 fps, H.264 or HEVC, plus a 1080×1080 journey-overview still — sized for the platform you're actually sharing to.
🔒 Your Timeline Never Leaves Your Phone
No account, and the app never requests your device location. Your Timeline data — the JSON file, every coordinate, every trip — is processed entirely on your phone and never uploaded, no matter what else changes about this app. (Updated: as of this listing, the app does include optional, anonymous product analytics and crash reporting, plus non-intrusive ads, to help keep it free and improve it over time — see the Data Safety section for the exact, closed list of what those see, none of which is ever your Timeline content.)
🌍 Built for Travelers Everywhere
Available in English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, German, and Brazilian Portuguese.
📌 Important Information
Trip detection and predictions are generated from the Timeline data you import and depend on the completeness and accuracy of that export. Map tiles are provided by CARTO, built on OpenStreetMap data; attribution ("© OpenStreetMap © CARTO") appears on every rendered video as required by their terms of use.
