How to make a map

1. Pick a color under Colors and type what it means, such as “Visited” or “Over 10 million”. That text becomes the legend.
2. Click countries on the map to color them. Click again to clear, or right-click. Search the list to find small countries.
3. Add more colors with Add color, or switch a color to stripes or dots to show a second category.
4. Under Style, add a title, move the legend, and change borders and background.
5. Under Save, download a PNG, SVG, or PDF, copy a share link, or save a map file to keep editing later.

Your work saves in this browser as you go, so a closed tab does not lose it. Undo and redo cover every change (Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z).

The 236 countries you can color

Outlines come from Natural Earth 1:50m, drawn on the Natural Earth projection, which keeps shapes and sizes close to true. Small countries are easiest to color from the search list or by zooming in.

Color the map from spreadsheet data

Open Data and paste two columns copied from Excel or Google Sheets: the country name and a value. Numbers are split into up to five shaded classes with an equal number of countries in each, and the legend shows each range. Words such as “Yes” and “No” each get their own color.

Country names, two- and three-letter ISO codes, and common spellings like USA, UK, or DR Congo all match.

Download, print, and reuse

PNG downloads are 2,400 pixels wide, sharp enough for slides and print. SVG opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, or Figma for further editing, and PDF prints on one page. The boundaries are public domain, so you may publish the map anywhere, including commercially. A small credit line is on by default; you can turn it off under Style. For an uncolored outline to print, use the blank map of World.
