Let AI illustrate the setting. Keep the names, grid and finishing touches in your hands.

Describe the terrain and landmarks, then choose parchment, watercolor, ink or painted art. Prompts request no lettering, so you can name places yourself instead of fixing AI text.

Small places. Big adventures.

Make a small settlement feel lived in.

A town works best with one clear reason to exist: a mine, a bridge, a crossroads or a sheltered harbor. Keep your first prompt focused and label the inn, market and meeting places afterward.

  1. Choose one reason for the settlement: a bridge toll, a mill, a mine or a weekly market. Use it as the center of the prompt.
  2. Request a modest cluster of homes with fields and access roads around it. Dense districts and huge walls will make it read as a city.
  3. Name the inn, meeting place and river crossing in the editor. Leave ordinary homes unlabeled so the useful destinations stand out.

Try this prompt: A quiet market town around an old stone bridge, with an inn, a mill and fields outside a low wall. No text or labels.

A MAP WITH A PURPOSE

Put this setting to work.

Choose the view that helps you plan, write or play.

01

A home base between adventures

Give recurring locations a place on the map: the inn, the smith, the mill and the bridge where everyone meets.

02

A stop along the road

Create a small frontier or market settlement without the complexity of city districts. Surround it with farms, a mine or a harbor to explain why it exists.

FROM YOUR SCREEN TO YOUR STORY

Take the map with you.

A downloadable image, not a locked-in project format.

Keep the original

Download the clean image before adding annotations. Export a separate PNG from the editor for each version you want to share.

Use it in your VTT

Import a PNG as an image in Roll20 or Foundry. Choose grid dimensions and pixels per cell in the editor, or export without a grid.

No scene files, walls, lighting or automatic grid alignment.

Prepare a handout

Set your output dimensions, then place the PNG in your layout or print workflow. Check the result at its intended size before printing.

Larger canvas dimensions do not add detail to the source image.

YOUR FREE MAP WORKBENCH

Your map. Your names. Your rules.

Upload a map or use a sample above. Editing stays in your browser and needs no account.

Images keep their aspect ratio. Any unused canvas area is padded with parchment; the preview and PNG use the same renderer.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF

A few things to know.

Can I request an exact number of houses?

You can suggest a small building count, but image generation does not guarantee exact counts. Check the result and choose a simpler prompt if the settlement is too dense.

Can this make a village without walls?

Yes: describe an open village, scattered cottages, farm lanes and no perimeter wall. The sample is only one possible town layout, not a required template.

Is the fantasy map generator free?

Grid overlays, labels, compass marks and PNG export are free and run in your browser. AI generation uses credits; monthly plans have a fixed allowance, not unlimited generation.

Why are there no place names in generated maps?

AI lettering can be unreliable. Prompts explicitly request no text. Add your own readable names in the free browser editor instead.
