A travel map made from your photos

Your phone already knows where you were. Drop a selection of travel photos into Tratto: it reads where and when each one was taken, groups them into stops, orders them by time and draws the route between them.

Then the photos appear on the map as polaroids, connected to their place by a thin line — a photo book and a map in one print.

How it works

  1. Choose your photos

    JPEG photos with location (most phone photos have it). On iPhone, share as “Most Compatible” to get JPEG instead of HEIC.

  2. Drop them in

    Import → Photos. Tratto groups photos taken close together into one stop.

  3. Arrange the polaroids

    Drag each polaroid where it looks best; double-click to reset it.

  4. Export

    Photos are embedded in the PDF/PNG at print quality.

Private by design

Photos are processed in your browser and saved on your device — they’re never uploaded. Shared links carry the route, not the pictures.

Tips for the best result

Pick one strong photo per place. Faces and landscapes with a clear subject read better at polaroid size than wide panoramas.

Frequently asked questions

My photos have no location — what can I do?

Tratto tells you how many photos had no GPS data. Add those stops by searching the place, then attach the photo to the stop.

Does it work with HEIC?

HEIC photos can be read only in Safari. Elsewhere, export them as JPEG first.

How many photos can I use?

As many as you like for building the route; on the poster, one polaroid per stop.
