The problem

You know this feeling.

The ride was incredible. Forty people. Perfect light on the climb. Someone had a proper camera. And then — the post-ride photo chaos begins.

The link expired. Again.

"Can someone resend the iCloud link? It stopped working." Half the club never downloaded anything. The photos are still sitting on one person's phone.

Scattered across 15 phones.

Alice has the summit shots. Ben has the sprint finish. Nobody has a complete collection. Searching through WhatsApp threads months later is hopeless.

Compressed into oblivion.

WhatsApp strips out the EXIF. The resolution drops to 720p. That stunning shot of the peloton against the Alps? Ruined before anyone could print it.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

Set it up once. Your club's photos organise themselves from there.

Connect your Strava club

Sign in with Strava. Velopola instantly pulls in your club and every scheduled event — past and future. No manual setup. Your rides are already there.

Import or upload photos

Paste your iCloud shared album link — done in seconds. Or let members upload their own shots directly in the app. Every photo lands in the right ride, automatically.

Every member downloads their copy

Club members sign in and download the full ZIP — uncompressed originals, every shot. Or share a public link. Anyone with the link can view and download, no Strava required.

Start with Strava

Takes less than 60 seconds to set up.

What's included

Built for the way your club actually rides.

Every feature is shaped around one specific problem: your 40-person club ride, the afternoon after.

Strava event sync

Your club's events pull in automatically every 6 hours. New ride on the calendar? It's already in Velopola before you even think to check.

iCloud album import

Paste your iCloud shared album URL. Velopola fetches every photo in the background, processes three variants per image, and populates the grid in real time.

Member uploads

Open uploads to your whole club, RSVP'd riders only, or keep it owner-managed. Configure access per event or set a club-wide default.

Public share links

Generate a link anyone can open — no Strava account, no sign-in. Perfect for sharing ride memories with friends, family, or the whole cycling community.

Full-quality ZIP download

One tap. Every original, at full resolution, compressed into a ZIP. No quality loss, no individual save-as clicks, no waiting around.

Installs on your phone

Velopola is a progressive web app. Add it to your home screen and it behaves exactly like a native app — instant launch, offline-capable UI, no App Store required.

Real-time updates

Photos appear as they process. No refresh needed.

The moment a photo finishes processing — whether it came from iCloud or a member's upload — it appears in the grid. Live. Velopola watches the event in real time, so you can leave the page and come back to find everything waiting.

Three variants per photo: thumbnail, web-ready, and original

Access control

You decide who sees what.

Not every ride should be public. Set a club-wide default, then override it per event. Open a single stage to the world while keeping your training rides private.

Owner only Private by default. Just you.

RSVP'd riders Only riders who said they'd show up.

All members Your full Strava club.

Public Anyone with the link.
