🗺
Map Maker & Freeform
✏️
Drawing tools
Pen (P) — freehand strokes · Line (L) — straight lines · Zone (Z) — rectangles · Circle (C) — circular zones · Pin (I) — named markers · Label (T) — text · Eraser (E) — remove strokes (resizable) · Select (S) — move, resize, or delete anything.
🎨
Colours, stroke & images
Use the colour picker and stroke width slider in the toolbar. With Select active, change any element's colour or width individually. Upload a background image to annotate on top, or place images freely on the board — then use Select to resize, drag, add a Border, or Crop with draggable corner handles.
🏔️
Icons & terrain
Place 40+ icons (roads, buildings, signs, and more) from the Icons panel. Pick a terrain type — grass, forest, mountain, water — then drag a rectangle or circle to fill that area with it.
📋
Legend, stats & notes
Build a custom map key and see a live count of every stroke, pin, label, zone, and image on your board. Every map also has its own Notes tab — a simple thread for leaving context for anyone with access.
💾
Save, export & collaborate
Click Save map — auto-saves every 30 seconds, or press Ctrl+S to save manually. Use Add to Project in the top bar to share with teammates. Export as PNG, SVG, or PDF (Pro).
⌨️
Keyboard shortcuts
P=Pen · L=Line · Z=Zone · C=Circle · I=Pin · T=Label · S=Select · E=Eraser · Ctrl+Z undo · Ctrl+S save · Delete removes the selected item.
📏
Measurement Tool
1
Upload your map image
Drag & drop or click to upload. Supported formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP. You can also draw a reference line directly on the image over something whose real length you know.
2
Set map type, unit & reference
Select the map type (City/Urban, etc.) and your preferred unit. Optionally add a known reference — e.g. "the road at the top is 200m" — this significantly improves AI accuracy. Not sure? Let the AI estimate it.
3
Ask your question
Type any natural-language question like "How long is the main road?" or pick from the provided examples. The AI returns measurements with a High, Medium, or Low confidence level, plus a short summary of what it saw. You can ask follow-up questions to refine the answer.
4
Save your measurement
Click Save measurement to store the image, your questions, and all AI answers in your Dashboard. You can also print your response with full details and the image using the print button.
💡 Note: The AI is in beta — complex tasks may take longer or occasionally fail. If you see "Oops, something went wrong," press the back button and try again. Persistent issues? Email supportmappy@gmail.com.
🔲
Overlay Comparison
1
Upload two images
Upload Image A (base) and Image B (overlay) — or import directly from the World Map tool. Drag & drop works too.
2
Choose your comparison mode
Overlay — place Image B on top with a draggable opacity bar and 6 blend modes. Side by side — view both images at once. Split slider — drag a divider to reveal each image. You can also adjust scale, rotation, and use True Scale or Fit A over B.
3
Export or save
Click Export PNG to download your comparison, or Save comparison to store it in your Dashboard. Use Add to Project to share with teammates.
💡 Note: Importing from World Map captures the map view as-is — layers and extra features (subway, earthquakes, etc.) are not included in the import.
🛣
Route Planner
1
Upload your map
Upload any map image (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP) as your background, or capture an area directly from World Map.
2
Draw your route
Click points to place waypoints one by one — name each stop, delete or reorder them. Or use Freehand to drag curved paths freely. Customize color, waypoint shape, line style, and width from the Style panel.
3
Set scale & read distance
Enter how many pixels equal one real-world unit using the Real World Scale Meter. The sidebar shows your total distance and stop count live as you draw.
4
Save or export
Click Save route to store it in your Dashboard, or Export PNG to download the map with your route drawn on it. Print with full route details using the print button.
💡 Tip: Zoom into your map image before uploading for more pixel detail — this gives the scale meter more to work with for accurate distances.
World Map

🌍 World Map

An interactive world map with no ads — explore countries, terrain, data layers, and real geography. Released June 20, 2026. Included free with every Mappy account.

1
Open World Map
From your Dashboard, find World Map under "World Map & Projects." It opens a full interactive map of the earth.
2
Click countries, oceans & capitals
Tap any country to see its name, continent, region, population, area, and a brief Wikipedia summary — with a direct link to its full Wikipedia page. Tap capital city dots for city details. Bodies of water have their own info cards too.
3
Search & map modes
Use the search box to jump to any country by name. Switch between Terrain, Satellite, and normal map modes. Enable Day/Night mode to see the real-time day/night boundary across the globe.
4
10 data layers
Open the Layers panel to overlay: Rivers, Railroads, Highways, Shipping Lanes, Flight Paths, Subway Networks (with real brand colors), Earthquakes (past 30 days), Time Zones, Political Colors, and Population Scale.
5
Measure & export
Enable the built-in Measure tool and tap two points to find the real-world distance between them. Capture any area and import it directly into Route Planner or Overlay for further work.
💡 Note: When importing to Route Planner or Overlay, the export captures the plain map view only — layers like subway networks or earthquake data are not included in the import.
Collaboration

🤝 Projects

Share your saved maps, measurements, overlays, and routes with other Mappy users. Released June 18, 2026 alongside World Map.

1
Create a project
Open Projects from your Dashboard and click + New project, or use the Add to Project button directly from any tool's top bar.
2
Invite people
Type a member's Mappy username (e.g. u000001) or email in the Members page. They'll receive a notification and can accept or decline — they're never added automatically.
3
Set roles
Assign each member as a Viewer or Editor. As project owner you can change roles, remove members, rename the project, or delete it at any time. Members can leave at any time.
4
Add items & notes
Use the Maps, Measurements, Overlays, and Routes tabs to add any of your saved files. The same file can belong to multiple projects. Use the Notes tab for team-wide context separate from individual map notes.
5
Project settings
In Settings (owners only): add a description, set a default role for new invites, and pick a project icon color (Pro). You can also set member tags — a colored ring and a custom title like "Designer" or "Lead."
💡 Tip: Your Mappy username is assigned automatically when you sign up — find it in Settings → Profile. Share it with anyone you want to invite to a project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Is Mappy free to use?
Yes — Mappy is completely free. All four core tools, World Map, and Projects are included with a free account. Mappy Pro ($4.99/month or $49.99/year) gives you 250 saves per tool, 250 projects, 250 files, 5 members per project, 9 accent colors, 9 custom fonts, PNG/SVG/PDF export, and a Pro badge.
How do project invites work?
When someone invites you to a project, you'll see a bell badge on your Dashboard and Projects page. You can accept or decline — you're never added without your consent. You can also turn off invites entirely in the bell → "Allow others to invite me to projects."
What image formats does Mappy support?
PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP. For best results use images at least 800×600 pixels. Very large files (over 20MB) may load slowly.
How accurate are the AI measurements?
AI measurements are estimates — accuracy improves a lot when you provide a known reference (e.g. "this road is 500m long"). Each result includes a confidence level: High, Medium, or Low. A note about what the AI saw is also included.
Are my maps and images saved securely?
Yes. All data is stored securely with Row Level Security — only you and anyone you've explicitly invited via Projects can access your work. We never share your data with third parties.
Can I use Mappy on mobile?
Yes — all tools, World Map, and Projects work on mobile. Map Maker has a dedicated touch toolbar. For the best experience a tablet or desktop is recommended.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Dashboard → Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and all your data and cannot be undone. You can sign up again with the same email afterwards.
The AI isn't giving accurate results — what can I do?
Try: (1) Selecting the correct map type. (2) Adding a known reference. (3) Being more specific in your questions. (4) Using the follow-up chat to refine. If it still persists, contact us at supportmappy@gmail.com.
I found a bug — how do I report it?
Email supportmappy@gmail.com with a description and screenshots. You can also reach us at @MappyTools on X.
