Blank map of Malaysia

People who want the shape of Malaysia as a file usually have a project of their own already: a slide, a poster, a worksheet in a word processor. This page gives you the outline alone or with its 16 administrative areas, each as a PNG, an SVG and a PDF.

In a design tool

The SVG is the file to take into Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Because the 16 areas are separate shapes in the With borders version, you can fill each one with a brand colour, pull Sabah and Sarawak out of the layout for a callout, or trace the lines for a shop-window display. The Outline only SVG gives a single shape for a logo sketch or a cut-out.

In a report or a slide

Place the With borders PNG beside a table of your own figures, one row for each of the 16 areas, and take the area names from the list further down this page. The plain outline works as a quiet backdrop for a title slide or a section divider.

Which version, which file

The political blank map of Malaysia is the With borders version. It has no names, which is what makes it a labelling exercise. Take Outline only when inner lines would get in the way, for example behind a title.

Use the PNG in slides and documents: its transparent background takes the colour of the slide. Choose the SVG for design work and the PDF for A4 or Letter. The PDF prints at 100%; for more print choices, see the printable map of Malaysia.

When you need names or colours

Customise this map opens the same outline in the editor, where you can colour areas, show names and pin George Town or Johor Bahru. The editable map of Malaysia does the same with a bar of tools on the page.
