A world that makes sense
Ranges rise where plates collide, rivers drain real basins to the sea, deserts lie in the rain shadow of mountains. Every map is generated at its true scale, up to 10,000 km.
Free fantasy map generator and editor
Loremapper is a free, open-source fantasy map maker that runs in your browser. Generate a continent or a whole planet in seconds, then shape it by hand: mountains with real heights, rivers that flow downhill, forests, kingdoms, cities and your own artwork.
Why Loremapper
Terrain in metres
Every point has an elevation. Sculpt with brushes, see contour lines and shaded relief, and let peaks label their own heights.
Kingdoms, rivers, roads
Draw borders, rivers that taper to their source and roads of any style. Names follow what they name and hide when too small to read.
Fog of war for game masters
Paint fog over unexplored lands and export a player-safe map for your D&D or Pathfinder campaign.
Your own art
57 illustrated icons for castles, cities and monsters, plus your own PNG, WebP or SVG files in the same library.
Eight map styles
Parchment, fantasy atlas, antique engraving, shaded relief, strategy game, pixel art and more. Export images up to 12,288 px, heightmaps for game engines, or an editable project file.
From nothing to a map in three steps
- Open the editor and choose a planet or a flat map: a region of 250 km or a continent of 10,000 km.
- Generate a world from a seed, or start from an empty ocean and raise land with a brush.
- Name places, draw borders and roads, place cities, then export a picture or keep editing.
Questions
Is Loremapper free?
Yes. It is a non-commercial, open-source project under the MIT License: no paid version, no premium features, no ads.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the editor and start. Maps are saved automatically in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.
What can I export?
PNG images up to 12,288 px (with or without fog of war), 16-bit heightmaps for game engines and 3D tools, and project files to back up or move your maps.
How is it different from Inkarnate or Azgaar?
Inkarnate is a painting tool for hand-drawn maps; Azgaar generates whole worlds with cultures and states. Loremapper focuses on believable terrain at true scale — real elevation, rivers that flow downhill, climate — and lets you edit all of it by hand.
Does it work on a phone?
You can view maps on phones and tablets. Editing is made for a computer with a mouse.
