THE IMAGE IS JUST THE START
A world map. Then your own story.
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.

- Editable place names
- Square & hex grids

- PNG image export
Starts with the unlabeled original. Editing is free; no sign-in needed.

Continents & kingdoms
Build a world from its geography.
Start with the shape of your continent, then describe the climate and the places that matter. Leave names out of the image prompt: add them with the map editor after generation.
- Choose a landmass: one continent, an archipelago or an inland sea. Keep individual buildings out of this scale.
- Place the mountain spine and main river basins before adding forests, deserts and settlements. Review the output for rivers that split or run uphill.
- Add kingdom and sea names in the editor. Set a scale only after deciding how far characters should be able to travel.
Try this prompt: An island continent with a snowy northern range, a warm southern coast and five rival kingdoms. No text or labels.

Put this setting to work.
Choose the view that helps you plan, write or play.
The big picture for a campaign
Give players a sense of what lies beyond their starting region. Use settlement icons here, then make a separate local map when the story gets closer.
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 control the exact shape of a continent?
A prompt can describe a crescent coast or scattered islands, but it does not lock the coastline to a precise outline. Review each result rather than treating it as an editable geographic model.
Should cities be drawn in detail on a world map?
Use small settlement symbols at this scale. Generate a separate city map for streets and districts so the world map remains readable.
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.
