Ridgeform turns your cycling and running routes into stunning 3D art you'll actually want to share. Import a route from Strava, your GPX library, or sync directly from Apple Health, and Ridgeform sculpts it into a glowing 3D model — every climb, descent, and twist of your ride, rendered as a physical shape you can orbit and explore. Choose a color theme, add your own photo backdrop, and export a share-ready card in seconds. WHAT MAKES RIDGEFORM DIFFERENT • 3D Route Sculpture — Not a flat map. Your route becomes a physical shape you can see from every angle, with elevation color-coded from valley greens to summit highlights. • Orbiting Camera — A smooth orbital animation brings your route to life, revealing its character as it slowly rotates. • Share Cards — Export as a Live Photo, Video (Instagram Reels, TikTok), animated GIF, or high-res PNG. Every format is tuned for social media. • Your Photo as Background — Use any photo or video from your camera roll as the card background. Your 3D route floats over your own ride footage. • Six Curated Themes — Moss, Clay, Summit, Tarmac, Frost, and Tempest. Each theme controls every color in the card — route glow, text, data labels, gradients — for a cohesive look. HOW IT WORKS 1. Connect Strava or import a GPX file 2. Pick a route and choose your theme 3. Customize: swap background, edit route name and location, switch between Elevation and Altitude views 4. Export and share FEATURES • Strava integration — Sync your routes with one tap • GPX import — Drop in any .gpx file from Garmin, Wahoo, Komoot, or other platforms • Live Photo export — 3-second loop, perfect for lock screens and social feeds • Video export — Up to 30 seconds, MP4 format • Animated GIF — Lightweight, universal • Static PNG — Best single angle, high resolution • Editable card text — Customize route name and starting location before export • Two 3D modes — Elevation (true shape) and Altitude (raised profile showing absolute height) • Data overlay — Distance, elevation gain, estimated time, route type • Works offline — No internet needed after import Ridgeform is made for cyclists and runners who want to share more than a screenshot.
