How can I upload my own icon, image or SVG?

In case you want to add a logo or image to your mapping project, you can import this element as an SVG, PNG, or JPG file. Drag and drop your file into Mapcreator, and it will automatically appear on your map.

Once the file is added to your map, you can select it by clicking on it to open the ‘’Styling’’ menu. Here, you can determine the size, rotation, add a label, turn on collision detection and lock its position. Keep in mind that if the file is too large, it might appear as if it wasn't imported, as collision detection will hide it if it extends beyond the map frame. By using the ‘’Styling’’ menu to toggle off collision detection and scale down the size of your image, it will appear on your map. 

In the ‘’Location’’ menu, you can add specific coordinates or search for an address to change the location where your image is added. You can also drag and move it around manually. 

In ‘’Layers’’, under ‘’Custom Elements’’ you can find your added file. Here you can click the three dots to move it above or below other map elements.

Imported files are for single use only, these are not saved to your icon or text box library. In case you want to always have certain image on hand, contact Mapcreator’s Support Team to add these to your existing library.
