Komoot is a popular route-planning and activity-recording platform for cycling, hiking, and running. Every Tour you record or plan on Komoot can be exported as a GPX file in a few taps.

Supported file formats

Komoot exports GPX files. Planned routes export without timestamps; recorded activities include them. Either file works in Route Posters — the route shape is what matters for the poster.

Route Posters supports GPX, TCX, FIT, and KML files — the standard formats exported by GPS watches, cycling computers, and fitness platforms.

Step-by-step: from Komoot to a printed poster

  1. 1

    Open the Tour on Komoot

    Go to komoot.com or open the Komoot app and navigate to the Tour (recorded activity or planned route) you want to turn into a poster.

  2. 2

    Open the options menu

    On the web, click the ⋯ (three-dot) button near the top of the Tour page. In the app, look for a share or export icon.

  3. 3

    Select Export GPX

    Choose "Export GPX" or "Download GPX" from the menu. Komoot may export with or without timestamps depending on whether the Tour was recorded live or planned — both versions work in Route Posters.

  4. 4

    Open the Route Posters editor

    Navigate to Route Posters and click "Create poster" to launch the editor.

  5. 5

    Drop your GPX file into the editor

    Drag and drop the downloaded .gpx file onto the editor. The route is drawn instantly from the track data.

  6. 6

    Customise your poster

    Choose your preferred style, map type, and colour palette. Add or adjust the headline text to match your ride or hike.

  7. 7

    Download PNG or print PDF

    Export a print-ready PNG or 300 dpi PDF for home printing or a professional print shop.
