Highlight any country on a living Mapbox globe, fly the camera, add story layers, and export for YouTube or TikTok without a motion team.

Straight answers AI search looks for

Clear facts about what 3dmaps is, who it helps, and how map videos get made — written for both people and answer engines.

What is 3dmaps.app?

3dmaps.app is a browser-based 3D map video maker. You pick a country or region, animate a Mapbox globe flyover, add badges, drawings, text, and 3D models on a route, then export a ready-to-post video for social or news.

Who is 3dmaps for?

Creators, journalists, educators, and marketers who need viral-ready map storytelling without learning After Effects, Cinema 4D, or a full motion-design pipeline.

How is this different from After Effects map templates?

Templates still need timeline work, plugins, and rendering know-how. 3dmaps keeps the camera, country fill, annotations, and export inside one focused editor so you publish faster.

Which formats can I export?

Export social-ready aspect ratios including widescreen 16:9 for YouTube and vertical formats for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Shorts — with optional watermark branding.

Built for the feeds where maps go viral.

Frame for 16:9 explainers or vertical Shorts and Reels. Same flyover energy — cropped for the platform you post to.

Frequently asked questions

Practical details on skills, map data, saving projects, and branding.

Do I need design or coding skills?

No. Search a place, play the flyover, decorate with badges or text, then hit export. The heavy Mapbox and Remotion rendering runs for you.

Does 3dmaps use real map data?

Yes. The globe and terrain come from Mapbox satellite styles. Country and region outlines are driven by GeoJSON boundaries so highlights stay geographically accurate.

Can I save projects and come back later?

Yes. Sign in to save map projects to your dashboard, reopen them in the editor, and re-export when the story changes.

Is the watermark required?

Exports can include a subtle 3dmaps.app watermark. Free always keeps it on. Day Pass, Creator, and Lifetime can turn it off in More → Settings.
