Polygon map validator and previewer

Paste your polygon GeoJSON to validate it and see a preview. If you need to draw shapes from scratch, use the MapsMaker editor instead.

If you’d rather draw, MapsMaker’s editor supports polygons and exports GeoJSON.

Validate and preview polygons

Paste boundary data to check validity and see it on a map.

  • Paste Polygon or MultiPolygon GeoJSON
  • See validation results instantly
  • Preview on a static map and download the cleaned GeoJSON

When to use this vs the editor

This tool validates existing data — use the editor to draw new shapes.

  • Use this when you already have GeoJSON from somewhere else
  • Use the editor when you want to draw shapes manually

Tips for clean polygons

Catch common polygon issues before they show up on your live page.

  • Close rings properly (first and last coordinate should match)
  • Avoid self-intersections (they render unpredictably)
  • Keep the polygon count low on a single page if you care about performance

Frequently asked questions

Can I style the polygon?
Yes—in the editor you can set fill, stroke, and opacity.
Does this support huge GeoJSON?
Very large overlays may fall back to base preview, but downloads still work.
Can I export GeoJSON from MapsMaker?
Yes—GeoJSON export includes shapes and markers.
Can I combine polygons with pins?
Yes—service maps often use both (zones + partner/office pins).
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required. When you’re ready to publish a full map, MapsMaker plans start at $15/month with a free trial.
Do I need to create an account?
No — this tool works without an account. You only need an account when you want to save, publish, or embed a map.
