How to Use ResizeEarth

1. Search for a Country

Use the search box in the top left corner to find a country. You can type the name in English or your local language.

2. Select and Drag

Once a country is selected, it will appear on the map in a colored overlay. Click and drag the country to move it around.

As you move it towards the north or south poles, you'll see it change shape and size relative to the background map. This shows you how much the underlying map is distorted!

3. Compare Multiple Countries

You can select multiple countries at once. They will all appear on the map. Try selecting Greenland, China, and Brazil and moving them to the equator to see who is really biggest.

4. Check the Distortion

Look at the panel on the left (or bottom on mobile) to see the "Distortion Factor". A factor of 1.0x means you are seeing the true size. A factor of 3.0x means the map is making it look 3 times bigger than it really is.
