Advice/Help Map Making Sites?

[nios]

hello! I am calling out for help as a devoted RPer hehe.​

Does anyone know good websites dedicated to making maps? One that has a good amount of freedom for edits, but not difficult to use. ​

The map is for a group I am a part of so I am not 100% sure what the map will include... Maybe something good for mapping out cities? *desperate cry for help*​

edit#2: A mix with some that doesn't require making an account will be nice! However, all suggestions are super helpful! Thank you hehe​

I don't mind making an account because I have an email specifically for these purposes. Like I mentioned, this is for my fellow GM so I wanted to make some options to help them out​

edit: I apologize since I failed to mentioned that it was to help my GM! Please pardon my mistake ;-;​

Inkarnate. The free version is fine, the pro version is great, and it can be paid month by month so if you want a solid month of mapmaking it's worth it to sign up for one month and then stop.

They should also have an email for this purpose.

Google Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator.

This is 100% free map maker that is really good for realistic continental maps used for larger scale settings and travel. It has some great customization features that give you a lot of control. I love how clean and sophisticated it is, as well as how easy it is to use.

Spoiler: Sample Map

This is a little map I made using Azgaar's for someone's chat-based RP.

I started a new template to work on the world map for my Final Fantasy tribute story.

I've been changing the aesthetic before I start to reshape the land masses and nations.

One thing I did was make the biomes layer more translucent so the terrain colors wouldn't smother the nation colors so much, but rather add shading to the map. I also made the borders darker, and thicker, with a small shadow to make them pop.
