156 shapes with all of them open
How to make a blank Caribbean map
- Open the Caribbean map. Start from the button above and the editor opens on this map, with the 14 countries already selected and nothing painted. They are all listed further down this page. For a finer map, 11 of them can be opened into their own states, provinces and regions, which is 156 shapes instead of 14.
- Write the legend before you paint. Add one entry per category and say what it means in your own words. The legend is part of the exported image, so a map that made sense to you at midnight still makes sense to someone who sees it cold.
- Fill the countries. Every click paints one country. Fill everything you have not touched in a baseline colour first and paint the exceptions on top, or paste a table of country names and values and let the colour scale do it.
- Export or publish. Download a PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF at the size you ask for, or publish for a link with a preview image. Published maps of the Caribbean show up in the community list at the bottom of this page.
What you can do
- All 14 countries of the Caribbean, each a separate clickable shape.
- A detailed version: 11 of these countries open into their own states, provinces and regions, 156 shapes in all.
- Flat colours, or stripe, dot and checkerboard patterns for the categories that would otherwise look alike.
- Colour by numbers: paste a table of countries and values and the map fills itself in on a scale you choose.
- A legend you write yourself, with a heading, dragged wherever the map has room.
- Country names or codes printed on the map, on or off, in a colour you pick.
- Add or drop a country before you start, and the view refits to whatever is left on the board.
- Backgrounds, borders and border colours are all editable, or turn the borders off entirely.
- PNG, JPEG, SVG and PDF export, with nothing drawn across the map and no export limit.
Make your own blank Caribbean map
Travel and cruises
Islands visited, ports on a route, which ones share a currency or a language. The shapes are small, so either turn the region labels on or let the legend carry the names.
Language, music and history
English, Spanish, French and Dutch speaking islands, or where a genre came from. Four colours and a written legend say more about the region than a paragraph does.
Where you have been in the Caribbean
The countries you have visited, lived in, worked in or only changed planes in. Three colours and a legend that says what each one means, and 14 shapes is small enough to finish in one sitting.
Something the country map is too coarse for
When a whole country is too big a unit for what you are showing, 11 of them can be opened into their own regions on this same map, so one country can carry its internal detail while its neighbours stay solid.

Common questions
How many countries are on the Caribbean map?
14, every one of them a separate shape you can click and fill. The list above runs from Antigua and Barbuda to Trinidad and Tobago.
Which countries count as the Caribbean here?
Only islands that are their own country in this data are here. Aruba, the Cayman Islands and the Virgin Islands are not: they are drawn as territories of the country that governs them, which would mean putting the whole of the Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States on the map beside them.
Can I colour the regions inside a country?
Yes. 11 of these countries carry their own subdivision data, so one can be opened into its states, provinces or regions while the rest stay solid, and opening all of them gives 156 shapes instead of 14.
Can I add a country that is not on this map?
Yes, but from the create screen rather than from this button: the same selection is a tile there with these countries already ticked, so you can add and drop before the map is made. The frame refits to whatever ends up on the board.
Do I need an account?
No. The editor opens straight away, the map stays in this browser while you work, and exporting an image never asks you to sign in. An account only matters if you want to publish a map at a link other people can open.
Can I use the exported map commercially?
The image is yours, and we ask for no credit: the only mark on it is the site address in small type in the bottom corner, and nothing is drawn across the map. Nothing from the map data is added to the picture either, because we only ship boundary data whose licence is satisfied by naming it on our credits page, so there is no credit line to print and nothing for you to pass on. Anything you add to the map stays your own.
