RunLayer Studio / GPX guide
GPX to
poster.
A GPX file holds the shape of a run. RunLayer turns that route into a poster or photo story you can edit and export in your browser.
Try it with a sample run ↗1. Export one activity as a GPX
Open the activity in the running app or watch service where it was recorded, then look for an export or download option. GPX is a common format for route points, timing, and sometimes elevation.
2. Check the route before you share it
If the run starts at home or along a regular route, trim the beginning and end first. Also look for GPS spikes caused by tunnels, tall buildings, or tree cover. A clean route makes a better poster and reveals less than you intended.
RunLayer processes GPX files and photos in your browser for the core flow. The optional real-map beta makes a clearly disclosed third-party map request when you turn it on.
3. Pick the story, not every stat
For a race, the route, race name, date, distance, and finish time may be enough. For a favourite loop, the route shape and a short title can carry the whole image. Keep the main number large and leave the rest quiet.
4. Export for where it will live
Use a vertical format for a social story, a square for a feed post, or A4 for a print. Before you export, make sure the title is readable at phone size and the route has enough contrast against the background.
RunLayer is a small public beta. It supports GPX today, with a bundled sample if you do not have a file ready.
