Blank map of Albania
The outline, free as a PNG, SVG or PDF. Label it, colour it in or drop it into a slide.
Using a blank map of Albania
Most people who want a blank map of Albania are putting it into something of their own: a worksheet, a slide in a market review, a poster, a sketch. This page hands over the shape as a file. Outline only is Albania with nothing inside it, and With borders adds the 12 administrative areas. Each comes as a PNG, an SVG or a PDF.
Labelling in a worksheet
Place the PNG of With borders in a document and set a word bank beside it with a few areas, such as Berat, Kukës, Lezhë and Korçë. Pupils draw a line from each name to its shape, and the list further down this page is the answer sheet. Younger children can use Outline only on the cover of a project folder and decorate it however they like.
On a slide or in a design tool
The PNG is transparent, so Albania sits on your slide's own colour with a headline or a few figures beside it. In Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, the SVG can be traced for a poster or restyled in a report's palette. For a silhouette, such as a cover or a logo sketch, the plain outline is cleaner, because the inner lines get in the way.
Which version, which file
The political blank map of Albania is the With borders version: its 12 areas, drawn and unnamed. Take the PNG for a worksheet or slide, the SVG when you need to scale it up or edit it, and a PDF for A4 or Letter. If the sheet is going on paper in black and white, the printable map of Albania has the choices. Names, pins or a title belong in the editor: Customise this map opens the same outline there.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between Outline only and With borders?
Outline only is the shape of Albania with nothing inside it. With borders draws in the 12 administrative areas, which makes it the political blank map of Albania. Neither version has names.
Does the PNG of Albania have a transparent background?
Yes. Everything around the outline is see-through, so the map takes the colour of the slide, box or poster you place it on, with no white rectangle behind it.
Can I open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma?
Yes. The SVG is a vector file, so the outline and the lines between areas stay sharp at any size and can be restyled or traced in a design tool.
Is there a political blank map of Albania?
Yes, the With borders version. It draws the 12 administrative areas with no names, so you can add your own labels in a worksheet, a slide or a design.
