Every capability in the browser editor: Mapbox globe flyovers, flag fills, badges, draw, 3D models, text, camera hold, and Remotion exports — without opening After Effects.

01

Search any country, state, or province

Type a place name. 3dmaps resolves boundaries, flies from the current camera, and holds on arrival so the story lands cleanly — no keyframes required.

02

Living satellite globe

Mapbox satellite streets and globe projection deliver coastline depth flat SVG maps cannot match on social feeds.

03

Flag fills

Toggle flag fill to paint the selected country with its national pattern while keeping a glowing border.

04

Badges & callouts

Pin HQ markers, city badges, and emoji callouts that stay geo-anchored as the camera moves.

05

Draw & routes

Sketch freehand strokes or add a city-to-city route. Attach a stock cutout or a 3D model so it travels the path. 3D Model Size, Model color, and Follow camera live on the route row.

06

Text on the map

Place styled labels with control over size, weight, and orientation — readable on hold frames.

07

Hold Map camera

Unlock to pan and zoom for a custom angle, then lock again for a repeatable Remotion export.

08

Social exports

Render 16:9 or vertical MP4s through Remotion Cloud Run with progress polling and download.

09

Stock 3D models

Stock cards show a photo thumbnail or a cube — never a .glb as a picture. Click a model to park it at map center (no route required). Play shows the mesh on the map; export uses the thumbnail or cube.

10

Saved projects

Sign in to store project names, countries, flags, and badges in your dashboard for later edits.
