Sharing your map

Public links, visibility, rotating and revoking, and the viewer.

Share a map as a public link, complete with a live, interactive viewer. Open the Share dialog from the editor.

Making a map creates a shareable link right away. To copy the link (and get a QR code), you'll need to be signed in — signed-out users see the link masked with a prompt to sign up.

Visibility

Choose who can find your map:

  • Unlisted (default) — anyone with the link can view it, but it won't appear in search engines.
  • Public — viewable and indexable, with proper preview cards for social/search.
  • Private — not viewable via the link.

Password-protected sharing is coming soon.

  • Rotate link — issues a fresh URL and retires the old one (use it if a link leaked).
  • Revoke link — turns off the map's URL and every embed of it at once.
  • Let viewers export — off by default; turn it on to let viewers download the map as PNG, PDF, KML, or GeoJSON.

The public viewer

Your shared map opens in a clean, read-only viewer with:

  • The map title and an interactive, filterable map.
  • A quick-filter chip and a find-a-place search box.
  • Zoom and fullscreen controls, and any saved views you added.
  • A "Made with Mapize" badge (removable on Solo — see Plans & billing).

To put the map inside your own website instead, see Embedding a map.
