GEOlayers.app: Cinematic Animated Maps in Your Browser

aescripts + aeplugins

Animated maps have become part of the everyday language of video. Explainers, documentaries, news segments, and travel content all lean on them to show where a story takes place and how it moves. For years, GEOlayers 3 has been a favorite way to build those maps inside After Effects.

Now the team behind it has taken that experience to the browser. GEOlayers.app lets you design, animate, and export cinematic maps without installing anything, so editors, producers, and social teams can turn out a polished map even when After Effects isn't part of their day.

A quick look at GEOlayers.app in motion.

Everything You Need to Tell a Story with a Map

Design, animate, and export your map without leaving the browser.

Map Any Place in the World

Start with any location, then build the story on top of it. Highlight locations and features, add labels, place icon and image markers, draw routes, import your own geodata, or sketch directly on the map. You can even record a voiceover right inside the app.

Make It Match Your Brand

Colors, basemaps, labels, and styles can all be adjusted and saved as reusable templates, so every map you make afterwards fits your brand without starting from scratch.

Animate Without Keyframes

Instead of fiddly keyframes, GEOlayers.app uses an item-based timeline that makes smooth map animations and transitions quick to build. It handles automatic animations like flashing features and rotating 3D views for you, while still giving you all the control you need.

Export for Anywhere

When it's time to deliver, the same animation exports in whatever shape you need, from an easy-to-share MP4 for social media to a lossless 4K image sequence for further editing, in one click.

Built for Teams

Maps rarely come from one person. GEOlayers.app supports organization-wide template projects, so a designer can set the look once while editors, producers, and social media managers build on it. Everyone works from the same templates, and every map stays on brand.

Start from a Sample Project

The quickest way to get a feel for the app is to open a ready-made project and make it your own.
