| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31, and its fiscal quarters end on March 31, June 30, and September 30. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial statements, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in future periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

| Principles of consolidation | Principles of consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Use of estimates | Use of estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include those related to revenue recognition and the allocation of the transaction price (including sales incentives, sales returns and implied post contract support), inventory valuation, product warranty liabilities, the valuation, impairment and useful lives of long-lived assets (property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill), the valuation of derivative liabilities, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.

| Comprehensive income (loss) | Comprehensive income (loss). For all periods presented, comprehensive income (loss) approximated net income (loss). Therefore, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) have been omitted |
| Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy | Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. The Company performs an annual assessment of its goodwill during the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, such as an adverse change in business climate, declines in market capitalization or a decline in the overall industry demand, that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of its single reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its single reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company measures the amount of impairment as the amount the carrying value of its single reporting unit exceeds the fair value, up to the carrying value of goodwill, by using a discounted cash flow method and market approach method. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s market capitalization declined 38% from December 31, 2024, in part due to tariffs and geopolitical events, resulting in the Company’s market capitalization to no longer exceed the carrying value of its single reporting unit as of March 31, 2025. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis and estimated the fair value of its single reporting unit utilizing the income approach using a discounted future cash flow model and a market approach. The analysis required estimates which consisted of significant judgment related to the estimation of future cash flow and discount rates. The analysis was dependent on internal forecasts and profitability measures as well as certain unobservable Level 3 inputs such as the estimation of long-term revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, and determination of the discount rate. As a result of the quantitative impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its single reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in the recognition of an $18.6 million goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of 2025. The Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2025 using a qualitative assessment and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit was less than the carrying value. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s single reporting unit by 67%, which was not adjusted for an acquisition control premium, which would further increase the percentage the fair value exceeded the carrying value. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company identified goodwill impairment triggering events, including: (i) the conclusion of substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which represents a negative qualitative indicator; and (ii) a significant decline in revenue and gross margin compared to the prior year period. As a result, the Company performed an interim qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2026. The Company evaluated each triggering event and concluded that, while they represent negative qualitative factors, the quantitative evidence did not indicate that these events would more likely than not reduce the reporting unit’s fair value below its carrying amount. Specifically, as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s market capitalization of $126.4 million exceeded the carrying value of its single reporting unit of negative $1.9 million by approximately 101%, before any acquisition control premium, representing the synergies a market participant would obtain when obtaining control of the business. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded it is not more likely than not that the fair value of its single reporting unit is less than its carrying value, and no goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2026. The estimated fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is affected by volatility in the Company’s stock price. As a sensitivity, even a 50% decline in the Company’s March 31, 2026 stock price would result in the Company’s market capitalization exceeding the carrying value of its single reporting unit by more than 100%, before any acquisition control premium. If the Company's market capitalization declines, or if future performance falls below the Company’s current expectations, assumptions, or estimates, including assumptions related to current macroeconomic uncertainties, this may trigger a future material non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations in the reporting period in which a charge would be necessary. The Company will continue to monitor developments, including updates to the Company’s forecasts and market capitalization, and will update the Company’s assessment and related estimates as needed in the future. Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, intangible assets subject to amortization, and right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If it is determined that an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. As a result of the same impairment triggering events identified, which resulted in an interim qualitative goodwill impairment assessment, the Company performed an interim quantitative long-lived asset impairment assessment as of March 31, 2026. As the Company has a single asset group, the Company considered the undiscounted operating and disposal cash flows to assess recoverability. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded the carrying amount of its long-lived assets are recoverable and no long-lived asset impairment charge was recorded in the first quarter of 2026.

| Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of cameras, mounts, accessories, subscription and service, and implied post contract support to customers. The transaction price recognized as revenue represents the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to and is primarily comprised of hardware revenue, net of returns and variable consideration, which includes sales incentives provided to customers. The Company’s camera sales contain multiple performance obligations that can include the following four separate obligations: (i) a camera hardware component (which may be bundled with hardware accessories) and the embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the camera component delivered at the time of sale; (ii) a subscription and service; (iii) the implied right for the customer to receive post contract support after the initial sale (PCS); and (iv) the implicit right to the Company’s downloadable free apps and software solutions. The Company’s PCS includes the right to receive, on a when and if available basis, future unspecified firmware upgrades and features as well as bug fixes, and email, chat, and telephone support. The Company recognizes revenue from its sales arrangements when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transferred goods or services. For the sale of hardware products, including related firmware and free software solutions, revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs at a point in time, which generally is at the time the hardware product is shipped and collection is considered probable. For customers who purchase hardware products directly from GoPro.com, the Company retains a portion of the risk of loss on these sales during transit, which are accounted for as fulfillment costs. For PCS, revenue is recognized ratably over 24 months, which represents the estimated period PCS is expected to be provided based on historical experience. The Company’s subscription and service revenue is recognized primarily from its Premium+, Premium, and Quik subscription offerings and is recognized ratably over the subscription term, with any payments received in advance of services rendered recorded as deferred revenue. The Company’s Premium+ subscription includes cloud storage up to 500 gigabytes (GB) of non-GoPro content, access to GoPro’s HyperSmooth Pro video stabilization software, and the features included in the Premium subscription. The Company’s Premium subscription offers a range of services, including unlimited cloud storage of GoPro content supporting source video and photo quality, damaged camera replacement, cloud storage up to 100 GB of non-GoPro content, highlight videos automatically delivered via the Company’s mobile app when GoPro camera footage is uploaded to a GoPro cloud account using Auto Upload, access to a high-quality live streaming service on GoPro.com as well as discounts on GoPro cameras, gear, mounts, and accessories. The Company also offers the Quik subscription that provides access to a suite of simple single-clip and multi-clip editing tools. For the Company’s camera sale arrangements with multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells its hardware products, and subscription and service. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, then the Company estimates the standalone selling prices considering market conditions and entity-specific factors. For example, the standalone selling price for PCS is determined based on a cost-plus approach, which incorporates the level of support provided to customers, estimated costs to provide such support, and the amount of time and costs that are allocated to efforts to develop undelivered elements. The Company’s standard terms and conditions for non-web-based sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company grants limited rights of return, primarily to certain large retailers. The Company reduces revenue and cost of revenue for the estimated returns based on analyses of historical return trends by customer class and other factors. An estimated return liability along with a right to recover assets are recorded for future product returns. Return trends are influenced by product life cycles, new product introductions, market acceptance of products, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality, and other factors. Return rates may fluctuate over time but are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns. The Company provides sales commissions to internal and external sales representatives which are earned in the period in which revenue is recognized. As a result, the Company expenses sales commissions as incurred. Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 includes amounts related to the Company’s subscriptions and PCS. The Company’s short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances totaled $54.3 million and $54.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $21.9 million and $23.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

| Income Tax, Policy | Income taxes. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for computing its income tax provision, under which, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. The Company makes estimates, assumptions, and judgments to determine the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income in each tax jurisdiction and, to the extent the Company believes recovery is not likely, establishes a valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2026, the Company intends to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on its United States federal and state deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evident to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within income tax expense.

| Segment information | Segment information. The Company operates as one operating segment as it only reports financial information on an aggregated and consolidated basis to its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM assesses performance of the Company’s one operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss), which is also reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss). The CODM regularly compares net income (loss) against forecast and prior periods when deciding which areas of the business to allocate resources. The significant expense categories within net income (loss) that the CODM regularly reviews are cost of revenue and operating expenses, which consists of three main subcategories: research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative. All significant expense categories and subcategories are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other items included in net income (loss) but are excluded from the significant expense categories include interest expense, other income (expense), net, and income tax expense (benefit), all of which are also reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income, which is included in other income (expense), net was $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. |
| Liquidity | Liquidity and Going Concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. U.S. GAAP requires an evaluation of whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not consider the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates the mitigating effect of its plans to the extent it is probable that (1) the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and (2) when implemented, the plans will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s performance continued to be adversely impacted by an increasingly global competitive landscape, consumer-related macroeconomic issues resulting in a softer global consumer market, rising memory costs and supply constraints. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, total revenue was $99.1 million and $134.3 million, respectively, representing a 26.2% decline year-over-year. As a result, the Company incurred operating losses of $57.2 million and operating cash outflows of $36.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $40.7 million and $49.7 million, respectively, an aggregate principal debt balance outstanding of $99.9 million and $69.3 million, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $855.9 million and $775.1 million, respectively. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants under its 2025 Credit Agreement due to the impact of the timing of redemption of sales incentives, revenue mix, and timing of working capital changes which impact the covenant calculation. The Company subsequently received a waiver from the lender of the 2025 Credit Agreement on May 8, 2026. Future non-compliance with financial covenants may limit the Company’s access to existing credit facilities or result in an acceleration of debt obligations, which would further adversely impact liquidity. As of March 31, 2026, and through the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company’s forecast has been significantly impacted by events which were not known or reasonably knowable as of the issuance date of the annual financial statements including: (1) unprecedented increases and volatility in memory costs, including unexpected price increases ranging from 80% to 115% in the last week of March 2026; (2) communication from the Company’s memory suppliers in April 2026 regarding planned reductions in the production of the memory used in its products causing a reduction in forecasted sales volumes of certain products which also impacted the Company’s expected utilization of materials subject to a non-cancelable non-refundable purchase commitment of $24.5 million; and (3) indications in April and May 2026 of further softness in the sales channel. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows, further reducing liquidity and increasing reliance on external sources of capital. Additionally, the Company has not met certain covenants in the last two quarters which were subsequently cured or waived and does not expect to be able to meet the future minimum financial covenants in its 2021 Credit Agreement and 2025 Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to minimum liquidity, minimum EBITDA and a minimum asset coverage ratio, as further discussed in Note 4. Financing arrangements. As a result, the Company classified as current, all obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement, 2025 Credit Agreement and the Convertible Debentures, as direct default and cross-default provisions embedded in each respective agreement could, upon an event of default, permit the applicable lenders to declare all outstanding principal and accrued interest immediately due and payable. Based on current projections, the Company does not expect to have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These conditions, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. In response to these conditions, the Company has received approval from its Board of Directors to engage outside advisors to evaluate strategic alternatives including a potential sale or merger of the business and have engaged outside advisors to explore opportunities within the defense and aerospace sector to leverage the Company’s existing technology in new markets and product categories. The Company is also evaluating opportunities to sell certain non-critical assets and to secure additional financing through debt or equity securities. The Company is actively evaluating potential remediation options for the expectation that it will be unable to comply with its financial covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement and the 2025 Credit Agreement within the next twelve months, including seeking waivers or amendments from its lenders. The Company continues to focus on optimizing the revenue mix and pricing strategies, and reducing operating expenses through disciplined cost management. The Company announced a restructuring plan in April 2026 to reduce its global workforce by approximately 23% compared to its headcount ending Q1 2026, as discussed in Note 13. Subsequent events. The restructuring plan is being implemented in the second quarter of 2026 and is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2026. The Company expects to incur an aggregate severance charge in the range of $11.5 million to $15.0 million. The Company has evaluated whether the plans described above are sufficient to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Under this evaluation, the Company assessed whether it is probable that (1) the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and (2) when implemented, the plans will mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt. The Company has determined that, while the plans described above are intended to improve the Company’s liquidity and operating results, certain elements of these plans have not been fully implemented and are dependent upon factors outside the Company’s control, including the ability to secure additional financing and the successful execution of new market initiatives, and therefore cannot be deemed probable. As a result, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate the level of operating revenue or reduce operating expenses to levels to achieve profitability and generate cash, obtain waivers or amendments from the lenders related to financial covenants, source additional financing or ensure the availability of strategic alternatives on acceptable terms, if at all. Without obtaining additional sources of financing or consummating a strategic transaction, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern would be materially and adversely impacted, and the Company may be required to significantly reduce, restructure or cease operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
