How do I make a map of my run from Strava?

Export the run as .gpx from Strava ("…" → Export GPX on the activity page), open Krymp Map and drop the file into the route box in the sidebar. Pick a style, line color and format (1:1 for Instagram, A3 for print). Export as PNG, PDF or SVG. The file is read locally — nothing is uploaded.

Why make a map of your run?

A poster of your first marathon, a milestone long run or a favorite Saturday loop becomes a great memory on the wall. Also a thoughtful birthday gift for running friends or a cover for a training report.

Which style?

For running we love three: Noir (dark, dramatic — the line glows), Blueprint (linear, technical) or Coral (warm, soft — great as a gift). Toggle compass and scale bar for a more atlas-style look.

Print or screen?

For Instagram: 1:1 at 2×. For an A3 poster: PDF at 4× — 300 DPI without extra steps. Want to tweak typography or colors in Figma? Use SVG export so text stays real vector.

Local & private

Everything happens in your browser. The GPX file is read, decimated and drawn locally — never uploaded to a Krymp server. Only the start address geocode goes through OpenStreetMap Nominatim.

Vanliga frågor

Which GPX files work?

Any standard .gpx from Strava, Garmin Connect, Komoot, Suunto, Polar or Apple Health. The file is read locally — never uploaded.

How long a route can it handle?

Tracks are decimated to max 2,000 points, which is plenty for a marathon (42 km) at smooth resolution. Ultra distances work too, just slightly simplified curves.

Can I share a link to my map?

Yes — press "Copy link" (or ⌘/Ctrl+K) in the sidebar. The whole layout including the route is encoded in the URL.
