How to add your stats to a running or cycling photo
June 7, 2026 · 4 min read
The numbers are half the story. A finish-line photo hits differently when your time is right there in the frame, and a summit shot means more with the elevation gain beside it. Here is how to add your real stats to an activity photo, cleanly, without a single design app.
Which stats you can show
ActivArt pulls the numbers straight from your activity: distance, pace, elevation gain, and time. Because they come from the activity itself, they are your real figures, not something you type in by hand.
The richer your connected source, the more detail is available, which is why connecting through Intervals.icu gives the best results for stats.
How the stats are rendered
Rather than slapping a flat text box on top, ActivArt sets your stats into the scene itself. They can appear on a billboard, a wall mural, the road, a scoreboard, or your jersey, so the numbers feel like part of the image instead of an overlay.
This in-scene treatment is what makes a stats photo look designed rather than stamped.
Step by step
Open the activity and pick the photo you want to transform. Choose to include your stats, then select where they should appear. Pick the style that matches your shot, and ActivArt generates the result with your numbers built in.
No photo from the day? You can generate a scene from scratch for your activity type with your real stats included, no camera roll required.
Choosing a placement that reads well
Match the placement to the scene so the numbers feel like they belong. A billboard or wall mural suits an urban backdrop, the road works for a long straight, a scoreboard fits a track or stadium, and the jersey is great for a close-up of the athlete.
Legible, in-scene stats look their cleanest on the higher-quality generation tier, so if the numbers matter for a specific post, it is worth creating it there.
| Placement | Best scene |
|---|---|
| Billboard | Urban backdrop, city streets |
| Wall mural | Buildings, alleys, street art settings |
| Road | Long straight roads, open highways |
| Scoreboard | Track, stadium, finish areas |
| Jersey | Close-up portraits of the athlete |
Make it consistently yours
Set your visual style, camera angle, lighting, and environment once, and ActivArt remembers it, so every stats photo you make shares a look. Add your club crest or sponsor logo and it is applied automatically to every creation.
