Animaps

Animaps is an AI-powered map animation tool that turns text prompts into professional animated map videos — no After Effects, no motion design skills required. Describe what you want to see — "flight path from Tokyo to New York with a moving airplane", "highlight all EU countries with their flags" — and the AI generates a cinematic animation with smooth camera moves, transitions, and effects. Prefer full control? Switch to the manual step editor and build every animation yourself with precise control over camera, locations, icons, timing, and visual effects. Both modes work with the same engine, and you can switch freely between AI-generated and hand-crafted sequences in the same project. Animaps covers 35+ animation types: flight routes with moving planes, country and region fills with flags, border tracing, multi-segment journeys, 3D globe rotations and orbits, path animations, cinematic camera moves, zooms, pans, and more. A proprietary database of 31,000+ verified locations — countries, regions, cities, and landmarks with accurate borders — means your prompts resolve instantly, with no geocoding delays and no third-party API setup. Features include real-time browser preview before rendering, flat 2D and 3D globe modes, MP4 export in multiple resolutions and aspect ratios (horizontal for YouTube, vertical for TikTok and Reels, square for Instagram), custom icons and labels, and a growing template library. Built for YouTubers in travel, history, and geopolitics; journalists and news producers; educators and lecturers; podcasters making video versions; documentary filmmakers; and business professionals who need location-based visuals that look professional without the After Effects learning curve. Free tier available. Paid plans unlock higher resolutions, faster rendering, and watermark-free exports.
