Timeline Visualizer Turns Google Maps History into a Travel Film

timelinevisualizer.world Observed source

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free browser tool that converts a Google Maps Timeline.json export into an animated, shareable MP4.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The workflow separates data selection from rendering: users can reuse one export, choose months or exact dates, then set camera behavior, duration, title, aspect ratio, and output format. The page distinguishes current on-device Timeline.json exports from older Takeout “timelineObjects” packages, which are not supported. MP4 creation depends on WebCodecs and H.264 support, with Safari 16.4+ on iPhone and recent Chrome or Edge on desktop listed as compatible environments.
