About this map

This political map of the world shows countries in contrasting colours with their names. Unlike most world maps available online, India is drawn here with its official boundary, so it is suitable for use in Indian schools, offices and publications.

The map uses the Robinson projection, a compromise projection used widely in atlases because it keeps both the shapes and sizes of continents looking natural.

How to use this map

  • PNG: paste into Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint or Canva. Use the Print size for posters.
  • PDF: print on A4 (or scale up to A3). It's a vector file, so it stays sharp.
  • SVG: open in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or CorelDRAW to change colours, fonts or labels.
