Adret

Your GPX as an image, drawn like a poster.

A GPX is a list of points. Adret turns it into a picture you will want to show: the map drawn for your route, the relief lit by a sun, your title and your stats. On your phone, or in a computer’s browser: free, no account, no watermark.

Poster of a ride over Mont Ventoux: shaded relief on a deep blue sheet, the route in orange

Three steps.

  1. 01

    Get the GPX

    Your watch, head unit or app exports it, as a GPX, FIT or TCX. The guide says where to find it, app by app, from Strava to Garmin.

  2. 02

    Open it in Adret

    On a phone, tap + and choose “Import a GPX, FIT or TCX”. On a computer, “Open in your browser”, beside the download buttons, opens Adret where the file already is: drop it on the page, and the poster draws itself.

  3. 03

    Share the image

    Pick a style, change whatever you like, then share it or save it: a PNG, as a story or a post, ready for Instagram or a message. With Adret Pro, a file to print as well.

What your GPX becomes.

  • The drawing

    Not a screenshot: a map drawn for your route.

    Adret does not lay your track over a ready-made map. It draws the map for it, from OpenStreetMap’s raw data and the terrain: mountains take on volume under a sun, summits and cols carry their names, streets fall into place. Shaded or flat, as you prefer.

    The Tour du Mont Blanc drawn twice in the Classic style: a flat map on the left, the same map with shaded relief on the right

  • The styles

    Five styles, one track.

    Adret, Classic, Transparent and Vintage are free; Neon is part of Adret Pro. Each one changes the whole picture, from the sheet to the line, and each can then be adjusted to your taste: see all five.

    The Classic style on two outings, a hike at Mont-Dore and a marathon in Paris: a flat map on light paper, the route in orange-red

  • The format

    A story, or a post.

    A story at 1080×1920, or a post at 1080×1440, portrait or landscape. The image comes out as a PNG with no watermark, and its background can even be transparent. For the wall, Adret Pro adds two print formats at 300 dpi.

    The same walk in the Adret style twice: as a story, in portrait, then as a post in landscape, the map on the left and the title and stats in a column to its right

Fair questions.

Yes: import a track, make the poster, share it, with no watermark and no account. The poster carries a small adret.studio line beside the map credit: under Page, then Details, “Signature adret.studio” takes it off, and that is free too. Free covers the full map, every colour, the title and the stats; a day has a ceiling on posters, set high enough that you will rarely meet it. Adret Pro adds the print files, the film of the route drawing itself, and what makes a series: saved styles, every typeface, the layouts, the sun, the elevation profile, long routes, and many more posters a day.

GPX, FIT or TCX, from anything. Garmin, Wahoo, Suunto, Coros, Polar, a Strava export, a Komoot export, a phone app: if it writes one of those three, Adret reads it, gzipped or not. There is no account to connect and no platform to ask permission from.

Yes, in your browser, at app.adret.studio: the same editor and the same styles, the poster drawn on your computer. Drop the file on the page, or click + to choose it, then download the finished poster. What you make there stays in that browser, and clearing the site’s data deletes it; Safari also clears it after seven days without a visit. Adret Pro is bought in the app: to use it in the browser, sign in there with the email address of your Adret account, and a code or a link reaches you. Connecting Strava stays the app’s.

Two for a screen, both free and with no watermark, chosen under Page, then Format: a story at 1080×1920, or a 3:4 post at 1080×1440. The post can be portrait or landscape, and in landscape the map sits on the left with the title and stats in a column to its right; a story is portrait only. Either is a PNG, handed to your phone’s share sheet, so it can go straight to the photo library, a message or an app; PNG rather than JPEG because the background can be transparent. Adret Pro adds two for paper, at 300 dpi and in portrait or landscape: A3, which prints just as well at A4 or A2 and fits a 50×70 cm frame, and 30×40 cm, which also prints at 60×80.
