Google moved Timeline to on-device storage and removed the web viewer β but millions of people still want to see and share where they've been. Timeline Visualizer turns your exported Google Maps Timeline.json into an animated travel recap MP4 β entirely in your browser. π¬ Three steps 1. Export Timeline.json from Google Maps (iPhone or Android) 2. Upload in your browser β customize dates, camera style, portrait or landscape 3. Preview for free, then download a shareable H.264 MP4 ($2.59/video)
Hey Product Hunt! π
I'm Yu Zhang, maker of Timeline Visualizer.
The backstory: Google Timeline used to live on the web. Now it's on your phone, and there's no easy way to turn years of trips into something you can actually share. I built this because I wanted a "year in review" travel video from my own location history β without uploading sensitive data to a cloud.
What makes it different:
β Everything runs in your browser (Timeline.json never leaves your device)
β Free full preview before you pay anything
β Portrait + landscape MP4 for social
Try it in 30 seconds: click "Try demo" on the homepage β no Google export needed.
Happy to answer questions about privacy, export steps, or browser support. Thanks for checking it out! πΊοΈ
