Create fully editable vector maps
Create fully editable, layered vector maps in minutes. Export in SVG or CMYK PDF for web or print, or generate maps directly inside Adobe Illustrator with our custom extension.
Design without limits
Every vector map exported from Mapcreator mirrors the element structure you see in the tool — neatly layered and ready for editing. Open your SVG or PDF in Adobe Illustrator and adjust each detail, from roads to labels, with complete precision.
Work directly in Adobe Illustrator
With the Mapcreator Adobe Illustrator Extension, you can create and edit maps without leaving Illustrator. Import, style, and update maps as part of your existing design workflow. The perfect solution for print layouts, infographics, or branded visuals.
Optimized for web and print
Export vector maps as SVG for online publishing or as PDF in CMYK for high-quality print. Every export maintains sharp lines, clean typography, and scalable geometry, no matter the size or resolution.
A new perspective: Vector globe view
Most world maps distort reality because a 3D planet never flattens perfectly onto a 2D surface. With Mapcreator, you can render true vector globes that stay crisp, editable, and infinitely scalable. Highlight any region accurately — from Antarctica to Greenland — and export as SVG or CMYK PDF for print or design projects. Ideal for world-scale data, flight routes, or simply providing a different perspective of our world.

Frequently asked questions
Find quick, clear answers to the most common questions about our map-making tool—covering features, customization, exports, and more.
Can I make maps both for print and online publishing?
The mapping tool offers the possibility to export different file formats that can be used for both print and digital publications, including interactive elements. You can create a map and export/download it as various output types. The download options we support at the moment are: .PNG, .SVG, .PDF (CMYK), EPS and WEB. WEB means you’ll get a link to the (interactive) map as well as an iframe.
How do I customize my maps with Mapcreator?
The customization included in the service are the following: either you send us your own custom icons and route line options (color/transparency) or you pick our standard map settings and icons. However, full customization of your map is possible as well as having a complete map style range based on your own brand identity with extra costs.
