For WordPress users
Custom map markers for WordPress.
Design markers for store-locator plugins, map plugins, or any WordPress page that shows a map. Download as SVG or PNG and upload to your Media Library. No coding required.
How to add custom map markers to WordPress
WordPress map plugins — store locators, mapping integrations, embedded Google Maps — almost always let you upload a custom marker image, but most don't help you create one. The result: themes default to a generic pin or sites ship a single corporate logo for every location.
MapMarker Studio fills the gap. Design the marker visually, download as SVG (lossless, scales cleanly to any size) or PNG (compatible with every theme), and upload to your Media Library. Store-locator plugins, map plugins, and theme map fields all accept the resulting image URL directly.
No plugin install, no signup, no monthly fee. The tool runs entirely in your browser; the file you download is yours.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a custom marker to a WordPress map?
Upload your marker as an SVG or PNG to the WordPress Media Library, then paste the file URL into your map or store-locator plugin's marker icon field. MapMarker Studio downloads in both formats — pick whichever your plugin prefers.
What size should map markers be in WordPress?
For most themes, 32-64 px works on standard displays; 64-128 px renders cleanly on retina screens. MapMarker Studio's PNG export at 2× and 4× covers high-DPI displays without code changes.
Can I use SVG markers in WordPress?
Yes — modern WordPress themes accept SVG via the Media Library, but you may need to enable SVG uploads first (most security plugins offer this as a one-click option). Once enabled, map plugins accept SVG marker URLs directly and the result stays crisp at any zoom level.
Do I need a separate plugin to use custom markers?
No. If your theme or map plugin supports custom marker images (most do), you only need the marker file. MapMarker Studio generates that file — no additional plugin required.
Why doesn't my custom marker show on the WordPress map?
Most common causes: SVG uploads are disabled (enable them with a security plugin that allows SVG), the wrong file URL was pasted into the marker field, or theme caching is serving a stale page. Confirm the Media Library shows the image, paste the full URL, and clear your cache.
