With Creator or Pro
Embed timelines on your own site
Paste the embed code into any page that accepts an iframe. With Creator or Pro, the embed has no badge, and you can choose its theme, its accent colour and whether the title shows.
This example shows the Race to the Moon timeline with a blue accent and no title.
The space race, 1957 to 1975
A page on your own site, with the timeline embedded below the text.
More AI credits, and Advanced AI
On the free plan you get 20 AI credits a month. With Creator you get 100, and you can choose Advanced for each request. Advanced is a more capable AI model that costs more to run, so it uses more credits.
Record tours as video
Choose the events to stop at and write a caption for each. The editor records the tour in your browser as an MP4 or WebM video, up to 1920 pixels wide.
Build events from documents
Add PDFs, EPUBs, Word files, web links or pasted text. The AI proposes dated events, each citing the page or passage it came from. You review them before anything is added.

Common questions
What is an AI credit?
Credits pay for AI drafts, Change with AI and building events from documents. A request uses credits according to what it costs to run. On Standard, a 15-event draft usually uses 2 credits and a 30-event draft about 4. The free plan’s 20 credits cover about 5 to 10 drafts. Most small changes and answers use no credits. Before you start, the editor shows the most a request can use, and it returns any credits the request did not need. With Creator and Pro, you can choose Standard or Advanced for each request. Advanced uses a more capable AI model and more credits. Credits reset on the 1st of each month (UTC). A request that fails costs nothing.
Which AI models do you use?
Standard uses GPT-6 Luna Pro on every plan. Advanced uses Claude Opus 5.5. Documents are read by GPT-6 Luna Pro, or by Claude Opus 5.5 with Advanced, through providers with a zero-data-retention policy. Scanned pages are read by Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite. We may change these models.
What happens to documents I build events from?
Your browser reads the files. Only their text is sent to the AI, through providers with a zero-data-retention policy. Timeline Traveler does not store the files or their text. The events you add are saved in your timeline, and each one cites the document and the page or passage it came from.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. You can build timelines in the editor without an account. They are stored only in that browser until you sign in. Without an account you can also ask for one AI draft of up to 30 events. Sign in to keep your timelines in your account and to share or embed them.
Can I share timelines on the free plan?
Yes, as many as you want, by link or by embed. On the free plan, embeds show a small “Made with Timeline Traveler” badge. A timeline is private until you share it.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for. After that nothing is deleted. Timelines you already share stay shared, and you can still edit everything. Embeds show the badge again.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. You can switch between monthly and yearly billing, or between Creator and Pro, at any time. Choose Manage billing in the account menu. Stripe charges or credits the difference for the rest of the period.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. On every plan you can export every event as a CSV file, which the editor can import again. You can also export PNG images and PDF posters. With Creator or Pro, you can also download a timeline as an interactive page (HTML). It opens in a web browser without the Timeline Traveler website or an internet connection.
Will an embed stop working if I stop paying?
No. Embeds keep working on the free plan. They show a small “Made with Timeline Traveler” badge again, and styling you set with Creator or Pro stops applying.
Is there a plan for schools?
Not yet. Teachers can use any plan to build, share and embed timelines for a class. There are no student accounts or school billing at the moment.
Start on the free plan
Open the editor and build a timeline. You can upgrade later from the account menu when you need to share more.
