Ultimaps

Instead of formatting a file, you can describe what you want in plain language, like "color states by population." Ultimaps reads the prompt, matches it to the right regions, and generates the map. It's the fastest path when your data lives in your head rather than a spreadsheet, and it sits alongside the manual import options rather than replacing them.

You can paste from Excel, upload a CSV, connect a Google Sheet, or pull from a Notion database. The tool matches your data to the correct regions automatically, even when your formatting is messy. That matters. Anyone who has spent an afternoon cleaning column headers before a chart tool would cooperate will recognize why.

The library covers every continent divided by country, major countries split into administrative regions (states, provinces, departments), and all 50 US states divided by county. Because the maps are vector, they stay sharp at any size. If your region isn't there, the team builds custom ones.

Free exports come as standard-resolution PNG with a small "made with ultimaps.com" attribution. The Pro plan adds high-resolution PNG at roughly 7000×7000px, SVG that stays sharp at any size for print, and PDF. Paid exports carry no branding. Most map providers don't offer that without visible attribution.

Any map can be published and embedded on a website with a single line of code. Visitors can hover over regions for tooltips and click for more detail. Embeds work on any CMS or site builder and stay responsive across devices.

Add categorical or value-based legends so readers know what each shade means. For choropleth maps built from data, smart color scaling picks the palette and breakpoints for your dataset. That saves the fiddly trial and error of choosing thresholds by hand.

For regions or divisions the library doesn't cover, such as a state split into custom zones or a world map with a specific projection, Ultimaps builds it for you. Custom maps start at €49 and usually take 1 to 3 business days.
