FREE TOOL
Strava overlay generator
Draw your route, tune the stats, and download a transparent running or cycling sticker for Instagram Stories. No account, no upload, no Strava connection.
From route to Story
- 01Click the map to draw your activity. Auto-snap follows real roads and paths while distance and elevation update live.
- 02Set the pace or finish time, then choose the sticker style, colours, shadow, labels, and fakepace.run watermark.
- 03Download the transparent PNG and place it over any photo in Instagram Stories.
A transparent overlay built in your browser
The map supplies only the route geometry, distance, and terrain elevation. Fakepace draws the statistics and route trace as vectors on a transparent canvas in your browser; your photo never leaves your device because it is never uploaded here.
The Classic preset follows the familiar vertical stats-sticker hierarchy while using the fakepace.run wordmark. This tool does not connect to the Strava API and the downloaded image never contains a Strava logo or wordmark.
FAQ
- Is the Strava overlay generator free?
- Yes. Drawing the route, customising the sticker, and downloading the transparent PNG are free and require no account.
- Is the downloaded PNG really transparent?
- Yes. The file is an RGBA PNG with no background, ready to place over a light or dark photo in Instagram Stories.
- Does this connect to my Strava account?
- No. You draw the route here and enter the pace or time yourself. Fakepace does not use your Strava account or the Strava API.
- Can I make a cycling overlay?
- Yes. Choose Ride and the middle statistic changes from pace to elevation gain, matching the usual cycling sticker layout.
- Why does the image say fakepace.run?
- The optional watermark identifies the tool that created the PNG. You can turn it off before downloading.
