Long Distance Map Maker
Two cities, your names and a date, drawn as a clean poster or phone wallpaper. Free to download and print.
Quick answer
Pick two cities, add your names and a date, choose a line (heart, arc, dotted or straight), colors and a size. The poster updates as you type. Download a 300 dpi PNG for 8x10, A4, Letter or square prints, a phone wallpaper, or print it and save as PDF from your browser. It is free, with no watermark you cannot turn off.
This free long distance map maker turns your two cities into a poster: a clean map with both cities, a line between them, your names, a date and the distance. Download it as a print-ready PNG or PDF, or as a phone wallpaper. No sign-up, no payment, and it works right in your browser.
How do I make the poster?
- Type both cities. Pick from about 5,500 cities worldwide.
- Add your names and a date. Choose the wording: together since, met on, or until we meet.
- Pick a style. A heart in the middle of the line, a soft arc, a dotted path or a straight line, in paper, lilac, night, rose or black ink.
- Choose the size and download. 8x10, A4, Letter or square at 300 dpi, or a phone wallpaper.
You can also add your own short line, like an inside joke or the name of your song. Want the numbers first? See how far apart you are and where to meet halfway.
How do I print it well?
- Print shop or photo service: upload the PNG and choose the same size you picked, for example 8x10. Matte paper looks closest to the preview.
- Home printer: pick Letter or A4, tap Print or PDF, and turn off scaling or set it to 100%.
- Frame: 8x10 fits most standard frames in the US; A4 fits most frames in Europe.
- Dark posters use more ink. For a home printer, paper or ink style is the safer choice.
What else makes a good long distance gift?
A map says "this is us" without needing anything shipped across borders: send the file and let your partner print it locally. Pair it with a countdown to your next visit, plan your next call in the time zone planner, or pick a long distance date idea for the night you give it. More ideas are in our long distance tips.
What are the limits?
- The map is a simple world outline, made for decoration, not navigation. Small islands and very short distances show little detail.
- Cities come from a list of about 5,500. If yours is missing, pick the nearest bigger city and type your own line.
- Your poster settings are saved on your device and in any link you send. Anyone with the link can see them.
FAQ
How do I make a long distance map gift?
Type both cities into the map maker above, add your names and a date, and pick a style. Then tap Download and print it at home or at a print shop, or frame it. It takes about a minute.
What size should I print it?
Pick the size before you download. 8x10 inches fits most standard frames in the US, A4 fits European frames, and Letter fits a home printer. The files are 300 dots per inch, which is the usual quality for photo prints.
Can I save it as a PDF?
Yes. Tap Print or PDF and choose Save as PDF in your browser's print window. The page is set to the poster size with no margins.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no payment. A small made on cupie.app line is on by default, and you can turn it off under Show.
Can I use it as a phone wallpaper?
Yes. Pick Phone as the size. The image is tall enough for a phone lock screen, with the map in the middle so the clock does not cover the cities.
