Everything a picture needs to explain itself
Everything on this page is in the editor today. If it is not listed, it is not built - there is no roadmap hiding in here.
Draw and mark
Put a region on anything, with the tools you would expect from a drawing application.
- PointsMarkers in 21 styles, in any size and colour, numbered, plain, or one of 14 facility symbols.
- RegionsRectangles, ellipses and freeform polygons, with direct vertex editing, midpoints and simplification.
- TextCaptions and labels drawn on the picture, opaque and in the size you set.
- SelectionMulti-select, a freeform lasso that adds or subtracts, grouping, locking and hiding.
- PrecisionSmart guides, snapping, alignment and even spacing, and keyboard nudging.
- LayersA layer list with folders you can name, reorder, hide or lock in one click.
Start from a map
No picture? Pick the world, a continent or a country and its regions arrive drawn and named.
- 236 countriesEvery country drawn as its own states and provinces: India arrives as 35 named regions.
- Real outlinesA region names a shape in the artwork, so its border is the map's own and cannot drift.
- CoordinatesPlace a marker by latitude and longitude, and read true distances between places.
- Projections that fitEach map is drawn in a projection chosen for it, so nothing is torn at the dateline.
Any vector drawing
Upload an SVG and every shape in it can become a region with the drawing's own outline - no tracing.
- Make regionsOne button turns every shape into a region, named from the drawing's own labels where it has them.
- One region, several piecesA part drawn in two places - above and below a shaft, two clouds - can be one region.
- GroupsPut regions in a group and choosing one lights up the rest: a family of elements, a system of parts.
- Keeps its coloursA diagram's own colours stay when a region is pointed at, marked by an outline instead.
Floor plans and buildings
Every level on its own artboard, joined wherever people move between them.
- ArtboardsUp to 50 artboards in a project, each with its own picture and regions.
- Links between themA stair or a lift on one floor takes the reader to the same place on the next.
- Smart TraceDrafts enclosed regions on clean line-drawn floor plans, in your browser, for you to review. Nothing is accepted for you.
- Crop and rotateNon-destructively, per artboard; regions stay on the features they mark.
Shade by your numbers
Give regions a value and the picture colours itself - and writes its own key.
- Paste your dataPaste names and numbers and they are matched to regions by name.
- A key that cannot lieThe legend is worked out from the values, with your title, units and number format.
- 4 colour scalesEach a single hue from light to dark, so more reads as more - never a rainbow.
- Numbers in the textWrite {value} in a description and each region shows its own figure.
Popups that fit the content
Decide how much a region reveals, and where it appears.
- 4 placementsA callout beside the region, a side panel, a bottom sheet, or a spotlight over the picture.
- 5 looksInk, light, teal, paper and glass, with your own width, type and motion.
- GalleriesUp to 12 captioned pictures and videos per region. YouTube and Vimeo play in the page.
- More detailsA summary first, and paragraphs, lists or a table of facts behind it for readers who want more.
- Opens how you chooseOn a click, on hover, or on keyboard focus.
- LinksSend a region to another page, in the same tab or a new one.
Routes and measurements
Show the way, and give real distances.
- Guided toursA route through numbered stops, in order.
- NavigationOne-way or two-way routes with their stops drawn, for wayfinding and transport.
- Calibrated measurementsSet a scale once and read real distances and areas off the plan.
Publish and embed
Share a link, embed it in your own site, and stay in control of both.
- A link and an embedEvery project gets an unguessable share link and an embed snippet to paste.
- Frozen versionsPublishing freezes a copy; keep editing without touching what is live. The last 20 versions are kept, and any can be restored.
- Who may embed itName up to 20 sites allowed to frame a project. Revoking takes effect within seconds.
- Checked before it goes outMissing labels, targets too small to press and unsafe links are caught before you publish.
- An index of regionsOptionally list every region beside the picture, so a reader can find one by name.
- Views and opensA count of how often each published page is viewed and its regions opened.
A viewer people can use
What your readers get, on any screen.
- Zoom and panUp to 800%, with the wheel, a pinch, the buttons, or the Pan tool.
- PhonesPopups become sheets along the foot of the screen, so the picture stays in view.
- SearchFind a region by typing its name.
- KeyboardEvery region is reachable with Tab, in reading order, and opens with Enter.
An editor that keeps up
The things you only notice when they are missing.
- Autosave and historyEvery change is saved as you work, with undo and redo.
- ShortcutsA letter for every tool, printed on the tool itself. Press ? for the full list.
