Strava → poster
Make a poster of your Strava ride.
Your best ride deserves more than a spot in your feed. Put it on the wall — in your own colors, map style and with the route's elevation profile.
One ride. Endless looks.
Different rides, each in its own palette, map style and elevation gradient.
From feed to wall
A Strava ride is more than an activity in your feed
A good ride lives for a day in your feed and then disappears into a list of hundreds of others. Yet only a handful each year really stay with you: the day it finally clicked, the ride with too much wind, the holiday route you still talk about.
What makes a Strava activity suited to print is that everything you need is already in it. The GPS trace gives the shape, the elevation gain gives the profile, and distance, duration and date are already there. You don't have to type anything — you only choose how it should look.
Route Frame reads your GPX export and turns it into a print-ready poster: the route on a map style of your choice, the elevation profile below it and the statistics you want to show. You get the source PDF, so you print it as large as you like, as often as you like.
The source file, not one print
Most poster shops sell you one printed poster. Here you get the high-quality PDF file itself — print and frame it however you like.

How to export your ride
Your poster starts with a GPX — the file that holds your route. Grab it from Strava or Garmin in half a minute.
-
1
Open your activity on Strava
Go to strava.com (easiest on a computer) and open the activity you want on the poster.
-
2

-
3
Choose ‘Export GPX’
Your GPX file downloads right away. Ready to upload.
Tip: exporting works best on the Strava website; the option is tucked away in the app. A manual activity without GPS can't be exported.

1
Open your ride in Garmin Connect
Go to connect.garmin.com and open the ride under ‘Activities’.
-
2
Open the top-right menu
Click the gear icon (⚙) or the three dots (⋯) above the activity.

Choose ‘Export to GPX’
The GPX file downloads. Drop it in below.
Tip: this works on connect.garmin.com. In the Garmin Connect app the option is simply called ‘Export’.
Which activity works best?
Not every ride belongs on the wall. These usually do well.
-
A recognisable shape
A loop, a coastal ride or a climb has a shape you spot immediately.
-
Plenty of climbing
On a mountain ride the elevation profile becomes the strongest element.
-
A special date
A race, a birthday ride or the first time at a new distance.
-
Ridden together
A route you did with someone — then the poster doubles as a gift.

Frequently asked questions
-
Can I make a poster from my Strava activity?
Yes. Export your activity as a GPX from Strava and upload it to Route Frame. Any cycling, running or hiking activity with GPS works.
-
How do I export a GPX file from Strava?
Open the activity on strava.com (on a computer), click the three dots (⋯) at the top right and choose ‘Export GPX’. A manual activity without GPS can't be exported.
-
Do I get a printed poster or a file?
You get the print-ready PDF source file itself. You print and frame it yourself — as often as you like, in any size.
-
Does it also work for running or a hike?
Absolutely. Route Frame works with any route: cycling classics, a marathon, a trail or a multi-day hike.
-
Is this the same as Strava art?
Yes. Strava art is a poster or artwork of your Strava route — exactly what you make here, in your own style.
-
Can I put several Strava activities on one poster?
Yes. Export each activity as a GPX and merge them into one continuous route. Handy for a multi-day trip or a tour you rode in stages.
-
Will my poster still work if Strava changes something?
Yes. Your poster is built from the GPX file, not from a connection to Strava. There is no account link that can expire.
Ready to put your ride on the wall?
Upload your Strava GPX and watch your poster appear in seconds.
Opens the editor with a real 151 km ride through South Limburg. Everything is editable, and you can still upload your own GPX afterwards.
