From CSV to heatmap in 10 seconds

Drop a CSV and instantly see density patterns.

  • Upload a CSV with lat + lng columns
  • Auto-detects column names (lat/latitude, lng/longitude)
  • Heatmap renders in your browser — no API key, no install

When a heatmap helps

Use heatmaps to spot density patterns without manual analysis.

  • Customer or sales rep distribution
  • Issue/incident density (where do problems cluster?)
  • Foot traffic or visit logs

Heatmap vs cluster

Both handle dense data, but show different things.

  • Heatmap: density (color intensity = many points nearby)
  • Cluster: count (bubble shows N points grouped)
  • Use heatmap to spot hotspots, cluster to see exact counts

Frequently asked questions

How many points?
Tested up to ~50,000 in-browser. For more, build the map in MapsMaker.
Can I see individual points?
Heatmap shows density, not individual markers. Use a pin map or CSV-to-map for per-point detail.
Can I tune the colors?
v1 uses a standard heat gradient. MapsMaker offers gradient customization.
Does it require an API key?
No — no key needed.
Is this tool free?
Yes — no signup required.
Will the CSV be saved?
No — processing is in-browser and the file is not uploaded to any server.
Save it as a real map
MapsMaker is where you publish and embed interactive maps.
