The Chart Maker

Blank Europe map maker

This Europe map maker starts from a blank map of 50 countries, drawn in a proper European projection rather than cut out of a world map. Click a country to fill it, label the colours in the legend, and export a PNG. Most countries can also be opened up into their own internal regions.

Also known as: blank europe map, map of europe to fill in, color european countries, europe map chart, european country map generator.

How to make a blank Europe map

  1. Pick Europe as the base map. Europe is one of the starting maps in the picker, so you get the continent at a readable size straight away instead of zooming into a world map and fighting the projection.
  2. Open up the countries that need detail. A country can be replaced by its own internal divisions instead of one solid shape, and the counts are in the table further up (16 voivodeships in Poland, 26 cantons in Switzerland, 27 oblasts in Ukraine). Expanded and plain countries sit happily on the same map.
  3. Fill and label. Click to paint, and write the legend as you go. Patterns are worth using here: European maps often need "member since", "applied" and "not a member" to be told apart in a screenshot.
  4. Export or publish. Download the PNG, or publish and get a page with the map on it. Published maps of Europe show up in the community list at the bottom of this page.

What you can do

  • 50 European countries, each one a separate clickable shape.
  • 49 of them can be opened into their own internal divisions, under the local names: 16 voivodeships in Poland, 26 cantons in Switzerland, 27 oblasts in Ukraine.
  • A Europe projection, so the north is not stretched the way a world map stretches it.
  • Flat colours plus stripe, dot and checkerboard patterns for overlapping categories.
  • A legend you write yourself, dragged wherever the map leaves room.
  • Country abbreviations on the map, on or off, in your own colour.
  • Rivers, lakes and major cities as optional overlays.
  • Crop the exported view, which is how a map of just the Balkans or just the Nordics is framed.
  • PNG export with no watermark, and a link with a preview card when you publish.

Make your own blank Europe map

Membership maps

The EU, the euro, Schengen, NATO, the Council of Europe. These overlap in ways that annoy people, which is exactly why the pattern fills exist: a country can read as "in one, not the other" at a glance.

Election and referendum results

National results across the continent, or one country opened into its own regions for a closer look. Publish each round and the link carries a preview image of the map itself.

Language and history

Language families, where an alphabet is used, borders in 1914, an empire at its height. The outlines are modern, but nothing else on the map is fixed, so a historical map is a matter of how you fill it.

Travel and rail

Countries a rail pass covers, a route across the continent, where a flight network reaches. Turn on cities and rivers when the map needs landmarks rather than just fills.

Sport and contests

Qualifying groups, who is still in, or the annual argument about who voted for whom. One colour per group and the whole bracket fits into one picture.

Common questions

How many countries are on the Europe map?

50, listed in full further up this page, from Albania to the Vatican. Microstates are included as their own shapes, which is not true of every blank Europe map you will find.

Can I colour the regions inside a country?

Yes, for 49 of them. The country is replaced by its own subdivisions with their local names, and the counts are in the table above, so you can see before you start whether a country has 8 regions or 80.

Is Russia or Turkey on this map?

The map covers the countries in the Europe set, which includes the transcontinental ones that are usually drawn on a European map. If a country you need is missing, the world map has every country and can be cropped to the area you want.

Can I make a map of just one part of Europe?

Yes. Crop the exported view to the area you care about, so a Nordics or a Balkans map keeps the surrounding countries as context without them taking over the frame.

Which projection is the map drawn in?

A conic projection fitted to the continent, which is why Scandinavia and the Mediterranean both look like themselves here. A Europe cut out of a world map stretches the north badly, and the subdivision data is drawn to match this projection rather than that one.

Are the country names printed on the map?

Countries carry their two-letter codes, which is what fits inside a shape at this scale. Regions inside a country are labelled with their actual names instead, because a code like PT-11 tells a reader nothing.

Is an account needed?

No. The editor opens straight away, your work stays in this browser, and the PNG export never asks you to sign in. An account only collects your published maps in one place.

Can I use the map in a video or a presentation?

Yes. The export is a plain PNG with no watermark and no attribution requirement from us, so it drops into a slide, a thumbnail or a video edit as it is.
