## What is TrailPop?

TrailPop turns your trip photos into a cinematic map trajectory video — your photos never leave your device.

HOW IT WORKS
Select photos from your library. TrailPop reads the GPS and timestamp already embedded in each photo, sorts your trip in chronological order (which you can adjust), and draws a real road-navigation route between every stop using Apple Maps — no manual pin-dropping required.

FEATURES
- Real road navigation routes for driving and walking; great-circle flight arcs for planes and boats
- Fog-of-war reveal animation as your route unfolds across the map
- Multiple visual themes: Dark Tech neon map, Retro Polaroid frames, Minimal Glass
- Procedurally generated background music synced to your video's pacing — no licensed samples, no copyright risk
- Export as a 9:16 HD video ready for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or your camera roll
- GPX file import support
- Preview representative video frames and check missing photo locations before exporting

PRIVACY FIRST
TrailPop never uploads your photos or videos. Video composition happens entirely on your device. To draw real roads and the base map, only the coordinates of your stops are sent to Apple Maps. On iPhone and iPad, the free version may show Google AdMob rewarded ads; you choose whether to allow ad tracking. Mac does not show ads.

FREE vs PRO
The free tier includes driving, walking, and flight routes, up to 10 photos per trip, videos up to 30 seconds, and 3 free exports a day on iPhone and iPad — after that, watch a short ad for each export. Mac exports are unlimited and ad-free. TrailPop PRO removes ads and unlocks 50 photos per trip, 60fps, no watermark, videos up to 5 minutes, every visual theme, plus train and ferry routes.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
TrailPop PRO is available as an auto-renewable subscription: PRO Monthly (1 month) or PRO Yearly (1 year). A one-time PRO Lifetime purchase is also offered. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
