Travel Animator moves a 3D vehicle along a route on a map or globe. Travellar zooms into the trip itself: the streets you walked, the stops you made and the photos you took at each one.
How it works
In your browser or in the iOS app, from the photos or the route you already have.
You can import Photos 📷 and Videos 🎥, routes from Google Maps 🗺️ and more, or simply pick Places 📍 on the map. Or use AI Trip Finder 🔎 (iPhone only)
Your places in order on an Animated map 🗺️ with your Photos 📷 Videos 🎥 and the highlights of your Trip 🎒
Pick a Map style 🗺️, colours and Music 🎵, then download the Reel 🎬 as a video.
Street level
A city walk or a short road trip covers a few kilometres. Travellar's map is built for that scale.
The map zooms in to fit your route, flat or with 3D buildings, so a walk between a few streets reads as clearly as a drive between cities.
Labels name each stop as the route gets there, so your followers always know where you are.
Your photos and videos pop up as the route reaches each place, and every stop gets its name on the map.
Side by side
Both turn a trip into an animated map video. Travel Animator moves a 3D model between places on a map or a globe. Travellar follows the streets from one stop to the next, with your photos at each one.

Pick Travellar when the trip fits in a city or a short drive and you want to start from your photos, in the browser. Pick Travel Animator for a long journey with a 3D car, plane or train moving along the route, or for a map decorated with landmark models. The two share most editing controls, from snap to roads to camera angles and map styles, and both are free to start with a watermark.
Travellar zooms the map to fit the trip, whether it covers a few streets or a few countries, follows the roads and paths between the stops and names each one as the route reaches it. Travel Animator moves a 3D model along a line between places, on flat maps or a 3D globe.
Both import a Google Maps route or a GPX file, and both let you add the stops by hand. Travellar can also start from the photos and videos in your camera roll. It reads where and when each one was taken and turns them into stops, in order.
On the iPhone app, AI Trip Finder spots the trips in your camera roll from when and where you took your photos. It picks the best photos of each and proposes a Reel for every trip. Travel Animator's website doesn't mention anything like it: there, you add the photos to each point yourself.
Both show photos and videos at a stop and label the place. Travel Animator can add text and 3D landmark models on the map too. Travellar plays each video with its own sound and keeps the stop's name over its photos.
Travellar runs in the browser, on any computer or phone, and in the iOS app. Travel Animator is an app for iOS and Android, with no desktop version.
Both are free to start and both sell a subscription. Travel Animator's Pro unlocks its premium models and map styles, 4K and unlimited saved routes, and removes the watermark. Travellar Premium removes the watermark and the end animation, unlocks every map style, your own music, smoother motion and higher resolutions on desktop, and starts with a free trial.
Only Travellar also turns the trip into a page of its own, with the map, every stop and its photos and details. Share the link with other travellers, or embed the page in a blog post next to the Reel.
A walk, a day out or a short road trip, where the streets and the stops are the story. Start from your photos, or let AI Trip Finder spot the trips in your camera roll on the iPhone app and propose a Reel for each. Show several photos at each stop under the place's name, add music, and share the trip as a recommendation too.
A long journey with a 3D car, plane, train or boat moving along the route, or a map decorated with its landmark models. Travellar doesn't animate vehicles. Its camera travels the route instead.

Travellar publishes this page, so it reflects our view. What we say about Travel Animator comes from its website, public comparisons and using the app, checked in October 2026. Apps change, so try the same trip in both before you choose.
