GPX import
Strava and GPX poster: your track, printed
Export the GPX file from Strava, Garmin, Komoot or your watch, drop it into the editor: the exact track shows on the map, ready to print.
Every recorded turn, printed
A GPX track holds thousands of points: it is your real route, not a hand-drawn approximation. Paperoad uses it as-is, with its loops, out-and-backs and detours, and calculates the total distance automatically.
You can then add stops along the track, a start, a finish, an aid station, a summit, and give each one an icon and a name. Line colour and thickness, map style and printed area adjust live.
Running, cycling, hiking, ski touring, kayaking: anything recorded as GPX can be printed. A 170 km ultra as well as a Sunday ride.
Posters already printed
Road trips, hikes, marathons, bike tours: every poster starts from a real journey.

Order without an account

Which activity?
Running
Paris Marathon, a half, a trail race: the exact loop with your time as a subtitle. 42.195 km deserves a wall.
Cycling and gravel
Étape du Tour, Paris-Roubaix sportive, a Pyrenees crossing or the Vélodyssée. Mountain passes make a good subtitle.
Hiking and trekking
Several days, several files: combine them on a single poster, with refuges as stops.
Skiing, kayaking, motorbike
Anything your watch or phone records. An off-piste run or a week on a motorbike around Corsica.
Sizes, papers and prices
Three sizes, three papers. Semi-glossy makes colours pop, 200 gsm matte kills reflections, the most popular choice, and 250 gsm premium matte has a thicker, fine-art grain. Free delivery to Europe, the UK, the US and Canada.

Frequently asked questions
Which apps are supported?
Any app that exports a .gpx file: Strava, Garmin Connect, Komoot, Polar Flow, Suunto, Coros, Wahoo, AllTrails, Visorando, OpenRunner, Apple Health via a third-party app.
How do I export a GPX from Strava on my phone?
The Strava mobile app has no export option. Open strava.com in your phone browser or on a computer, go to the activity, click the three dots then "Export GPX". Then drop the file into the Paperoad editor.
I didn't record my race, can I still make the poster?
Yes. Most marathon and trail race organisers publish the official course as a GPX file on their website. You can also use a Strava or Komoot route, or place the stops by hand in the editor.
Can I add my finish time and date?
Yes, title and subtitle are free text: race name, date, time, distance, elevation. The track distance is calculated automatically.
Can I import several GPX files?
Yes, for a multi-day hike or a triathlon for instance. The tracks are added one after another on the same map.
My GPS track is a bit noisy, is that a problem?
At poster scale, small GPS deviations are invisible. If a segment is really wrong, you can hide it and replace it with a hand-added stop.
What are the delivery times?
The poster is printed to order and shipped in a rigid tube, usually within 1 to 5 working days. Delivery is free to Europe, the UK, the US and Canada. The PDF file is available immediately.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You order with just an email address. After payment, an email lets you set a password if you want to find your order and files later.
What if I am not happy with the poster?
Get in touch: we answer within 24 hours and work through it with you. Our return policy sets out the details.
