Question 1

What is TravelPin?

Accepted Answer

TravelPin is a free travel app that turns every place you love into a pin on a beautiful 3D globe. Save a reel from Instagram and TravelPin figures out the location for you, so you build your own travel map without any typing.

Question 2

How does TravelPin know where a reel was filmed?

Accepted Answer

When you save a reel, TravelPin looks at the caption and the hashtags to spot the place. If you have a free account, it also uses AI to read the post more carefully and figure out the exact spot — so you don't have to.

Question 3

Is TravelPin free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Saving reels, the 3D globe, AI travel tips, your first travel book and saving across devices are all free. There are no ads. There is also an optional Explorer plan that adds the Travel Passport and unlimited Travel Books — the core app stays free forever.

Question 4

What is the Explorer plan?

Accepted Answer

Explorer is the optional paid plan. It unlocks the Travel Passport, where you tick off every country you've visited and see what percentage of the world you've explored. It also gives you unlimited Travel Books — beautiful photo books for your trips with custom layouts, covers and colors. The free plan includes one travel book.

Question 5

Can I share a Travel Book with someone who doesn't have the app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With Explorer you can flip any Travel Book to public and share its link with friends or family. They can open it in any browser to flip through every page — no app, no account, no sign-in needed. You can switch a book back to private any time.

Question 6

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. You can use TravelPin and save reels without signing up. Creating a free account with Apple or Google saves your places across all your devices and turns on the smart AI location detection for every reel you save.

Question 7

What's the easiest way to save travel reels from Instagram?

Accepted Answer

Just tap the share button on any Instagram reel and pick TravelPin. The reel gets added to your map automatically with the right pin in the right place — much more useful than just saving it to a folder inside Instagram where it sits without any location.

Question 8

How is TravelPin different from saving reels in Instagram?

Accepted Answer

Instagram's saved folder is just a long list. TravelPin actually places every reel on a world map at the spot it was filmed, so your travel inspiration is organized by location. You can search by city, filter by country or continent, and see at a glance where you'd love to go.

Question 9

Which languages does TravelPin speak?

Accepted Answer

TravelPin is fully translated into English, Dutch, German, Spanish and French. It picks the language of your phone automatically.

Question 10

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

TravelPin is built privacy-first. You can use it without an account and all your data stays on your phone. If you sign in, your data is saved to your private cloud account that only you can see. TravelPin has no ads, no tracking, and never sells your data.
