What if a medal badge or a photo covers part of the route?

Upload it anyway. The hidden stretches of the course are joined, and you can review the joins before ordering.

What if the time or the date is not in the screenshot?

Type it in by hand after uploading. Every detail on the print can be edited.

Does a screenshot from the Strava website work?

Yes, as long as the route and the stats are both in the image.

How to screenshot a Strava activity so the whole route shows

Updated November 13, 2026 · By Postarunna

Open the activity, make sure the whole route line and the stats (distance and time) are on screen at once, and take a normal screenshot with your phone or computer. Do not zoom into the map. One image with the map on top and the stats below is ideal.

On a phone

Open the Strava app and tap the activity.
Stay on the activity page, where the map sits above the stats. Do not open the full-screen map.
Check that the whole route line is visible and that the distance and the time are on screen.
Take a screenshot the way your phone does it: the side button and volume up on most iPhones, power and volume down on most Android phones. Apple and Google each have a short guide: screenshot on an iPhone, screenshot on Android.

On a computer

Open the activity on strava.com.
Scroll so the map and the main stats are both on screen.
Take a screenshot of that area with your system’s screenshot tool: on a Mac, on Windows.

A friend’s activity

If you follow them on Strava, open their activity and take the same screenshot. If you do not, a screenshot they posted on Instagram, Facebook or in a group chat works too, as long as it shows the route and the stats.

You can also ask them to send you a screenshot of the race. They do not need to know why.

Once you have it, upload the screenshot to see the print, or read how a Strava run becomes a framed print.

What makes a screenshot work well

Whole route: Start and finish both inside the map
Stats visible: Distance and time on screen
No zoom: The default map view, not a zoomed section
Not cropped: The full screen is better than a tight crop
File: PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 4 MB
