Give distant places a shared geography

A world map helps connect the places in a novel or a worldbuilding notebook. Begin with the two-continent preset: colored atlas style, 44% land and a target of 18 cities. The shape setting biases the height field toward two land masses, while the seed adds irregular coastlines and interior relief. It is a terrain generator, so seas may separate regions in unexpected ways; it does not promise two perfectly isolated islands. Try an archipelago when your story needs short sea crossings instead of long overland journeys.

Look at the rivers and coastal cities before inventing trade routes. A settlement facing another shore suggests an exchange of goods or an expedition, while a ridge can explain why neighboring places developed separately. The scale bar is a fictional guide in leagues, not a measurement of a real planet. This tool does not simulate climate, populations or a spherical globe. Keep the full share link alongside your manuscript so you can return to the same map as the story grows, then download a PNG for your notes or publication.

Build a world that supports your story

  1. Compare two continents and archipelago with the same seed to find a geography that suits your central journey.
  2. Lower land amount for wider seas and raise it for connected overland routes. Save each version’s share link.
  3. Use atlas style to distinguish terrain, then compare parchment if the map will appear inside a fantasy book.
  4. Treat generated names as prompts for your naming system. The current tool does not edit individual city labels.
  5. Keep a downloaded PNG with your manuscript; the free PNG is made in your browser and is not uploaded.

Questions about world maps

Does this simulate a whole planet?

No. This is a flat fantasy map made from a height field, with a decorative scale bar. It does not model a globe, weather or tectonic plates.

Can I keep the world but change its style?

Yes. Keep the same seed, land shape, land amount and city count, then switch between parchment, atlas and ink. The terrain and city placement remain the same.

Do I need an account to build a world?

No. Procedural generation and 1600×1000 PNG downloads are free without sign-up. An account and 1 credit are needed for a paid 4096×2560 HD export.
