An Equal Earth world map, ready for your page

What is in this map?

The standard world map uses Equal Earth, a Greenwich central meridian and north-up orientation. It shows the entire world in a finite frame, including Antarctica. Country boundaries and selected English place names are drawn over a flat-color Atlas background. The source caption identifies the projection and dataset.

This is a general-reference world map. Coastlines are generalized, and selected labels are spaced to reduce collisions. Small islands and closely packed countries cannot all be labeled legibly at this scale. For a map with a few specific places emphasized, use Make a map.

Choose an image or a print file

PNG is straightforward to insert into a slide or document. The 3200-pixel version has more image detail than the 1600-pixel version. SVG retains vector outlines and text for compatible editors. Both use the same geographic boundaries and projection.

The PDF files are prepared for the paper sizes shown in the list. Select A4, A3 or US Letter for ordinary printing; the collection also includes the larger world-map formats listed below. Check your printer’s paper setting and preview before printing. The artwork is fitted proportionally with a margin, so the file does not stretch the globe to match the paper’s aspect ratio.

Need a different version?

The blank map omits place names for annotation. The presentation composition places Equal Earth beside Mercator. For Physical relief, a different center, south-up orientation or custom highlights, use the browser-based map maker.

Equal Earth preserves area, not every shape or distance. Avoid using a world map as a navigation chart or a precise boundary measurement. The methods page explains the geographic model and scope.

Source and reuse information

The boundaries derive from Natural Earth 5.1.2. Natural Earth’s data are public domain; the license for this original composition is listed with the files. The verification details below include each file’s size and SHA-256 digest so a downloaded copy can be matched to the listed version.

The printing and placement guide explains resolution, proportional resizing and a useful source-note format.
