How It Works

Everything you need to map your world

WorldMap Pro is a free, browser-based interactive map editor. No sign-up, no install - everything runs locally in your browser.

Color Countries

Select the Color tool, pick a shade, then click any country to fill it instantly. Each colour you use is automatically added to your legend.

Freehand Drawing

Use the Pencil tool to annotate routes, highlight regions, or sketch directly on the map. Adjust brush size from hair-thin (0.3 px) to broad strokes.

Text Labels

Add text labels anywhere on the map. Labels are fully editable and draggable - perfect for naming regions, cities, or adding annotations.

Drop Pins & Notes

Pin any location and attach a written note. Great for travel planning, research projects, or sharing key points about specific places.

Save & Export

Save your project as a .json file and reload it later. Export a high-resolution PNG (3× density) for presentations, reports, or printing.

Undo & Redo

Every action is fully undoable. Use Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y or the toolbar buttons. Up to 80 steps of history are kept for colours, drawings, text, and pins.
