OnlineMapMaker.com is a free, browser-based GIS platform by KONAKTIVE — a Pakistan-based IT startup. We build professional mapping tools that anyone can use, with no signup and no cost.
Who We Are
OnlineMapMaker.com is a product of KONAKTIVE, a Pakistani IT startup founded by Muhammad Gulraiz Khan, a GIS expert with over a decade of professional experience delivering geospatial solutions for the energy sector, including projects for the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and USAID.
Since launch, the platform has grown into one of the most accessible free GIS tool suites on the web, offering over 54 specialized mapping utilities covering measurement, geocoding, coordinate conversion, GIS file viewing, and more.
Our users include educators, urban planners, journalists, NGO workers, students, and developers across 100+ countries who rely on our tools daily for real geospatial work.

Our Mission
Our mission is to democratize digital cartography. Geographic data and spatial analysis have historically been locked behind expensive software licenses or steep learning curves. We remove both barriers.
"Everyone should have access to quality mapping tools — to visualize data, tell stories, and share geographical information. Maps are a universal language."
— Muhammad Gulraiz Khan, Founder of KONAKTIVE
What Makes OnlineMapMaker Different
Six reasons why thousands of users choose our free GIS tools every day.
100% Free — Forever
No subscriptions, no premium tiers, no paywalls. Every tool on the platform is completely free to use, now and always.
Built for Non-Technical Users
Clean, intuitive interfaces designed so anyone — teachers, journalists, NGO staff — can use professional GIS tools without prior experience.
Powerful GIS Features
Measure distances and land areas, convert coordinates, view GPX/KML/Shapefile data, geocode addresses, and geotag photos — all in your browser.
No Installation Required
Fully web-based. Works on any device with a browser — desktop, tablet, or mobile. No plugins, no downloads.
Privacy-Conscious Design
We do not sell user data or run hidden trackers. Geospatial data you upload stays in your browser session.
Continuously Evolving
New tools, improvements, and features ship regularly based on user feedback and real-world mapping needs.
Why Free?
Because maps should not require a credit card. Teachers building lesson plans, NGOs tracking field data, small businesses visualizing service areas, and journalists mapping stories all need quality geospatial tools.
We believe access to geospatial technology is a right, not a privilege. Our tools are, and will remain, free at the core — supported by a sustainable model that does not compromise user experience or data privacy.
Our Promise
We keep one core promise: free, user-friendly GIS tools for everyone. No hidden ads injected into your maps, no selling of usage data, no surprise paywalls.
Under Muhammad Gulraiz Khan's leadership, KONAKTIVE continues to invest in sustainable free tools, privacy-conscious engineering, and products that have local impact with global reach.
