MapPalette
Africa Map Maker — Color the Countries of Africa
Create a custom colored map of Africa: click any of the continent's 50+ countries — Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Morocco, Ghana and more — to color them, add a legend, and export a print-quality PNG or SVG for free.
Use it for classroom geography, development statistics, travel logs, colonial history maps, or any dataset organised by African country.
How to make a custom map of Africa
- Pick a color from the palette on the left (or use the custom color picker).
- Click African countries on the map to fill them with the selected color.
- Add a label for each color in the legend editor, and give the map a title.
- Optionally import name–value data to build a choropleth automatically.
- Click Download to export a high-resolution PNG or a scalable SVG.
