Blank map of Kazakhstan
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 Kazakhstan
A blank map of Kazakhstan usually goes into something of your own: the top of a slide, a banner, a double-page spread or a report cover. Outline only is the country with nothing inside it. With borders adds its 16 administrative areas. Both come as a PNG, an SVG or a PDF.
On a slide or a page
The PNG has a transparent background, so on a title slide the shape of Kazakhstan can sit large with the heading laid over it. On a report cover, put it behind a title and tint it with a transparent fill in your layout software.
In a design tool
Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and the 16 areas are separate shapes, so you can fill each with a different colour from a brand palette or a map of your own data. Because the file is vector, the same SVG works for a small icon or for a wall-sized graphic.
Labelling and quizzes
For a quiz, place the With borders PNG in your worksheet and number eight areas, such as Aktobe, Atyrau, Jambyl and Turkistan. The list further down this page gives the answers. For a slide version, show one numbered area at a time and reveal each name on the next slide.

Questions people ask
Is there a political blank map of Kazakhstan?
Yes. The With borders version draws the 16 administrative areas as separate shapes without names, and that is the political blank map. Outline only has no lines inside.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes. The area around the outline is see-through, so the shape of Kazakhstan takes the colour of the slide, page or poster behind it.
Can I make the outline bigger without it going blurry?
Yes. Use the SVG, or the PDF. Both are vector files, so the lines stay sharp when you scale Kazakhstan up for a poster or a wall display.
Which file should I use in a worksheet, a slide or a design?
A PNG for a worksheet or slide, an SVG for Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, and a PDF when you want an A4 or Letter page as it stands.
