This tool is still under development and only partially functional. Currently it will only replace activities that already exist on your Trailforks account with data from your Strava archive export ZIP.
You can use this tool to replace Strava API data with your personal archive of FIT & GPX data, so your activities can be made public and regain full functionality.

Prepare the Data
You Strava archive ZIP can be very large, it contains all your Strava data including photos & video. Trailforks cannot process such large files. So you need to do some preparation to reduce the size of the file, this requires some soft computer skills.
- Unzip the Strava archive ZIP file on your computer.
- Locate the "activities" folder inside the unzipped folder.
- Remove any files from the "activities" folder that you do not want to import into Trailforks (optional).
- Locate the "activities.csv" file, you will need this.
- Zip the "activities" folder and "activities.csv" file together into a new ZIP file.
We will use the "activities.csv" to guide the import process and extract the original FIT & GPX files from the "activities" folder.
