Timeline Visualizer

Choose a browser tool or the original Android app

Compare the workflow you need instead of assuming similarly named tools are identical.

Choose by the job you want to do

For a quick test on a computer, open this site’s sample and inspect the browser editor. The website also has separate Timeline Viewer, Photo Map and visited-region tools. If you prefer an Android installation, inspect the original project and its current release notes. Features and supported inputs should be checked in the version you will actually use.

Our web app, shown in English. Sample data or manual example selections; no personal travel history.

Keep files and purchases separate

Use a copy of the same small trip when comparing results. Check import success, route shape and the downloaded video on each device. The independent website and upstream app are not one account or subscription. Do not assume a license from another site unlocks this editor, or that this website can provide support for another developer’s release.

Compare the same trip in both workflows

  1. This website offers browser-based Timeline and photo input, automatic or selected duration, music controls and route privacy settings. It also provides separate tools for inspecting Timeline and mapping photos or visited regions.
  2. The upstream project publishes its own software and release notes. Check the current Android, web or command-line options there instead of treating an old comparison as a permanent feature list.
  3. Try a short copy of the same trip. Compare date selection, camera movement, music, output size and the ability to save or share on the devices you actually use.
  4. Check this editor’s Pro group and checkout for currently available extras and pricing. A competitor’s quoted price does not establish our price. Choose the workflow that meets your needs after testing its free controls.

What to check

Compare device support, file access and export settings before choosing a workflow. Site-specific Pro controls belong to this independent web app.

  • Check which tool offers the file input and export options you need.
  • Treat Pro controls on this site separately from features maintained by the original Android project.
