Animated map maker for videos
Make an animated map for your video: countries filling in step by step, arrows, points, legend and a 3D globe. Runs in your browser, exports MP4.
What is “Geopolitical map”?
The geopolitical map animates countries filling in step by step, with arrows, cities, a legend and a camera moving from one area to the next. Use it to tell a story on a map: alliances, conflicts, enlargements, spheres of influence. Base maps come from Natural Earth, with no tiles and no API key.

Frequently asked questions
- Are the borders up to date?
- Base maps come from Natural Earth, the free reference used by newsrooms and cartographers. They show de facto borders at world scale.
- Can I make a spinning globe?
- Yes: the “3D globe” projection turns the Earth towards each step.
- Can I use my own colours?
- Yes, the “Custom…” theme lets you pick oceans, land, borders and text, on top of the colour of each step.
