How this app works

Map Art Maker for Minecraft pixelates and reduces the colour palette of your uploaded image to one that can be shown in Minecraft maps using vanilla blocks. It then identifies the coordinates and exact blocks to place in your world for each pixel, so that a map of the area will display the final image!

This web app is open source! It is not approved by or officially associated with Minecraft or Mojang.

If you want to take up the challenge of building the map art by yourself without using commands, this section can help by showing you block-by-block placement of the processed images!
The options to generate these will appear here after processing an image.
