Blank map of Afghanistan

Most people who need the shape of Afghanistan as a file are building something else around it: a briefing slide, a report cover, a worksheet in their own template. There are two versions here. Outline only is the country with nothing inside it, and With borders draws its 34 administrative areas. Each comes as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.

On a slide, a cover or a poster

The PNG is the quick route into a deck. Place it on a slide in your own colours and the transparent background lets that colour show, so the outline sits cleanly beside a title or three short figures. For a report cover or a poster, open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma instead: it scales to any size without blurring, and every line takes the colour and weight you choose.

Quizzes and labelling

With borders is the political blank map of Afghanistan, and it leaves every area unnamed. Number a handful in your worksheet, perhaps Helmand, Bamyan, Nangarhar, Takhar and Ghazni, and ask for the names; the list of areas below this page is the answer sheet. For a lighter task, Outline only works as a silhouette: show the shape alone as a starter slide and ask the room which country it is before the name appears.

Choosing the file

Use PNG for a worksheet in a word processor and for slides, SVG for design work and the PDF when you want the outline on A4 or Letter as drawn. If the map needs names, pins or a title, Customise this map opens it in the editor. Choices about ink and paper live on the printable map of Afghanistan.
