Draw a zone, generate crisp topographic contour lines, and export print-ready SVG & HD PNG. Gradients, elevation taper and Figma-ready output.
the gradient control on the elevation taper is genuinely thoughtful, gives you that subtle handmade cartography feel instead of looking like a flat computer readout. love how clean the SVG export is too.

@coztturk23123 That's exactly the feeling I was after. Old survey maps have a weight that a flat computer readout loses. For me it's the taper plus the elevation gradient working together that gets you there, one thins the lines with height, the other shifts the colour. Thanks for noticing.
Love that the elevation taper actually shows up in the exported SVG, makes the contour map feel tactile rather than just flat geometry.

@hacerisdf Yep, it's computed server side before export, so the editor preview and the SVG are the same thing. No baked raster.
Love how clean the export looks and the Figma output is a huge plus for my workflow. One thing that would save me a ton of time is letting me save custom gradient presets tied to elevation ranges, so I can quickly reuse the same color scheme across multiple terrain projects without re-tuning each one.

@fahrettinnfsk Saving presets is very doable and honestly should already exist. Quick question so I build the right version: do you reuse the same elevation ranges across projects, or re-anchor them per terrain? A 300m hill and a 3000m range need different stops, and that changes whether presets store absolute values or relative ones.

Seeing a few comments about drawing or sketching zones, so a quick clarification for anyone landing here: there's no freehand drawing in TopoLines. You pick a real location on a map and the contours are generated from actual elevation data (SRTM 30m, or 10m GeoTIFF on paid). The terrain you export is a real place, not a shape you drew. Happy to answer anything else.
using real SRTM elevation data instead of just letting you doodle contour-looking shapes is what makes this actually useful for real design work, not just a pretty toy. how fine does the 10m GeoTIFF option get in practice - is that resolution available everywhere on Earth, or only for certain regions where that survey data exists?
Drew a quick mountain zone and the contour lines came out super clean, way better than the wobbly results I usually get from free tools. The HD PNG export was ready to drop straight into a print layout with no extra cleanup.
the elevation taper control is such a thoughtful touch, a lot of these tools just dump raw contour data and leave you to clean it up. the print-ready svg export is exactly what i'd want too
