World Map Maker — Color the Countries of the World

Create a custom colored world map in your browser. Click any of the 195 countries to color it, group countries by color, label each group in the legend, and download the result as a high-resolution PNG or SVG — free and without an account.

People use this world map maker to show countries they have visited, election and sports results, trade partners, language regions, and any other data that maps to countries. You can also import a country–value table to generate a choropleth world map automatically, choose between Natural Earth, Equal Earth, Mercator and Globe projections, and switch on satellite, street or terrain base layers.
