Free GPS Art Generator — Create Art While Running or Cycling

GPS art is the practice of planning a running or cycling route that, when viewed on a map, forms a recognizable drawing — an animal, a word, a symbol. Draw My Loop is the simplest and most powerful GPS art generator: draw on the map, our algorithm snaps your design to real roads, and you export a GPX file ready to follow.

How to Create GPS Art

1

Draw your shape

Choose from our shape library (hearts, stars, animals, letters) or draw freehand on the map. You can also project a custom logo or text.

2

Snap to real roads

In one click, our snapping algorithm turns your drawing into a route that follows real streets and paths. The route is 100% runnable — no walls or rivers to cross.

3

Export and share

Download your route as GPX or TCX. Import it into Strava, Garmin Connect, Komoot or send it directly to your GPS watch. Run, ride, and admire your artwork on the map!

GPS Art FAQ

What exactly is GPS art?

GPS art (also called Strava art, running art or cycling art) involves following a planned route so the recorded GPS track forms a drawing on the map. It's a creative athletic practice growing worldwide.

Is Draw My Loop the best GPS art generator?

Draw My Loop is the only tool that combines an intuitive visual editor, automatic road snapping, a ready-to-use shape library and universal GPX export — all for free.

How long is a typical GPS art route?

A simple GPS art (heart, star) is typically 5 to 15 km. More complex shapes (animals, text) can reach 20 to 40 km. The size depends on the street density in your area.

Does GPS art work outside of big cities?

Yes! Draw My Loop uses OpenStreetMap data which covers the entire world. Rural areas offer fewer routing options but allow for large-scale creations.
