We just launched the #MadeUpCountry Challenge on TravelAnimator.
The idea is simple: The world map has always been drawn by wars, treaties, and political agreements made in rooms most people never entered. We thought, what if anyone could redraw it? So we built exactly that.
We just shipped Custom Watermarks a new feature that lets you put your own brand on every route video you create.
Until now, every route video exported from TravelAnimator had our logo on it. Creators were sharing beautiful animated route videos with their audiences, but with our branding on it. Not theirs.
TravelAnimator turns Google Maps URLs into travel map videos in seconds. It stands out with 250+ 3D vehicle models, 30+ map styles, 4K and HD exports, the ability to add photos to routes, and a completely ad-free experience. Built for travelers, creators, and storytellers who want their journeys to look as good as they felt, without spending hours editing.
We kept hearing the same thing from creators: the video was great, but they were still screenshotting a random frame to use as a thumbnail.
That felt like a gap we could close.
So we added Cover Images. Export any route as a standalone image 6 styles, ready to use as a thumbnail, a post, or the opening frame of your video. No extra steps, no third-party tool.
Cloud Sync was our #1 most-requested feature. Here's what we built and why. Hey Product Hunt! You'd spend time carefully planning a route on your phone, adding stops, waypoints, the images, then switch to your tablet and... it's gone. You're starting over. We've been there. It's frustrating, and it shouldn't happen. What we built: Cloud Sync automatically syncs all your saved routes across every device you're signed into. No manual exports. No file transfers. No extra steps. Your routes are just there. What's included: Cross-device sync across iOS and Android
Start on your phone, continue on your tablet
