Animated travel routes for Instagram and TikTok

Show where you went in a vertical video. Travellar animates your route on a map with your photos, place names and music, sized for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.

How it works

Your route β†’ your feed

From your camera roll to a video you can post.

Street level

A route your followers can follow

A pin on a country says where you were. A route through the streets, with a photo at each stop, shows what you did there.

Guide

Using your Reel on Instagram and TikTok

How to fit the map animation into what you post: formats, edits, sound and the link to your trip.

Pick the format for where it's going

Choose the shape before anything else, because the map and the photos are framed for it.

You can export the same trip more than once. Change the format, download again, and you have a version for each place you post.

Post it as it is, or use it as a scene

A Reel works on its own. The route, the stops, the photos and the music are already there, so you can download it and post it.

It also works as part of a bigger video. Drop it into CapCut, or into the editor in Instagram or TikTok, as the opening that shows where the trip happened or as the link between two places you filmed.

A scene wants to be short. Raise the travel speed, shorten the time each photo and label stays on screen, and set the intro and the outro to nothing so the clip starts and ends on the map. Turn the photos off if your own footage already shows the place.

Decide where the sound comes from

If you post the Reel as it is, pick one of the included tracks, or your own song with Premium, and you're done. Instagram and TikTok may mute a song you don't have the rights to.

If you'd rather use a sound from Instagram or TikTok, or record a voiceover there, set the music to None before you download. The video comes out silent, with nothing to clash with the audio you add.

Videos at your stops keep their own sound even with the music off. Mute them as well when you want a fully silent clip.

Add your voice and your words in the app

Voiceovers, captions and stickers go on in Instagram, TikTok or your editor, after the download. The animation gives you something to talk over: say what you'd tell a friend about each stop as the route gets there.

The place labels already name every stop, so your on-screen text can say something else, like what to order or when to go.

A longer label or photo time gives you room to finish a sentence before the route moves on.

Send followers to the full trip

A short video shows the route and leaves the details out. Publish the trip on Travellar as a Recommendation and it gets its own page with every stop, photo and tip, and a link you can copy from the share menu.

Put that link where people can tap it. On Instagram and TikTok that usually means your bio, or a link sticker in an Instagram Story. A link pasted into a caption or a comment generally can't be tapped.

Then point to it. Say where the link is in your caption, or pin a comment that does.

FAQ

Posting questions

How do I make an animated travel route for Instagram?

Import your photos or your route into Travellar, choose the vertical format and download the video. Then post it as a Reel or a Story.

Does it work for TikTok and YouTube Shorts?

Yes. The vertical format fits Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. There are square and horizontal formats too.

Can I add music?

Yes. Travellar includes tracks you can preview and add to the Reel.

Can I export without music?

Yes. Set the music to None and the Reel downloads silent, ready for a sound or a voiceover you add in Instagram or TikTok. If your stops have videos, mute them too.

Where do I put the link to my trip?

Publish the trip as a Recommendation and copy its link. Put it in your bio or in a Story link sticker, because a link in a caption or a comment generally can't be tapped.

Can I use a Reel in CapCut or another editor?

Yes. Download it and drop it into your edit as the scenes that show how you moved between spots.

Is Travellar free?

Yes. You can create and download Reels for free, with a Travellar watermark. 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.
