How it works
- 01
Choose a map
Use a 2:1 equirectangular map so it wraps without gaps. Any other shape still works, just stretched.
- 02
Spin and style it
Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, and toggle the atmosphere glow and background.
- 03
Download
Save a PNG of the current view — choose a transparent background to drop it into slides or designs.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of map works best?
An equirectangular map (also called plate carrée), where the width is twice the height and longitude runs from −180° to 180° left to right. NASA's Blue Marble is a good example.
Can I use a fantasy or game map?
Yes. Any image works. For a seamless globe, make sure the left and right edges match and the top and bottom rows represent the poles.
Can I export the globe with a transparent background?
Yes. Set the background to Transparent and download the PNG.
