Why High-Resolution Map Exports Matter
When your audience can clearly see shapes, territories, data points, and pin details, your insights land faster. High-resolution map exports eliminate pixelation and preserve styling, helping you present clear visual data without distracting distortions. This matters especially for teams that show maps in PowerPoint, PDF reports, or printed boardroom decks. A high-quality export ensures your work looks polished in every format, from screens to printouts. Exporting your map also saves time, eliminating the need to rebuild visuals in Photoshop or other design tools.
Pro Tip: Instead of exporting multiple map versions and manually creating slides, build all your visuals in a single map and export slide-ready images at different zoom levels. Mapline keeps everything consistent — colors, shapes, labels, and formatting.
Step 1 — Finalize Your Map View
Adjust zoom level, filters, and pin styles before you export. The export tool captures exactly what is visible on your screen. Make sure you’ve turned on any labels, shapes, territories, or coverage circles so they appear in the final image. This step is helpful when you’re working on location-based storytelling or territory analysis.
Step 2 — Click “Export Image”
From the toolbar, select the option to export your map. Unlike screenshotting, exporting creates an optimized, presentation-ready file. Choosing PNG ensures a crisp result on both digital screens and printed materials. Mapline also lets you name your file so it’s easy to track alongside presentation assets.
Step 3 — Choose Image Format & Resolution
Mapline automatically generates a high-definition map image. PNG files preserve sharpness, color, and styling—ideal for slides and websites. Maps with pins, shapes, or heat maps maintain detail even when zoomed in for large screens or projection. Files are saved instantly to your device.
Step 4 — Add Image to Your Presentation or Report
Insert the exported PNG into PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides. Because PNG is a high-resolution format, your map will not degrade when resized or stretched. You can also drag and drop the file into PDFs or dashboards without compression loss.
Use Contrast for Readability
Select color themes where the pins and shapes stand out against the base map style. Light pins on a dark map—or dark pins on a light map—help the audience quickly grasp your visual message.
Add Coverage Circles or Territories Before Exporting
Territories, coverage circles, and regional boundaries turn your map into a visual story. They help your audience understand factors like delivery coverage, sales regions, or target markets without needing extra explanation.
Keep Labels Clean and Focused
Turn on only the labels that matter for the story you’re telling. Too many labels create noise. Clear labeling keeps the focus on insights instead of the map itself.
