# Share and import maps
|
||||
|
||||
Your friend made a map and wants you to try it? They can send you a **ZIP file**: one file containing the map and its pictures. You do not have to open or unpack it yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Send your own map
|
||||
|
||||
1. Sign in as the map's original owner.
|
||||
2. Save your changes.
|
||||
3. Click **Export ZIP** in your map editor or on its public page.
|
||||
4. Send the downloaded file to your friend, for example through a service that accepts files of that size.
|
||||
|
||||
Only the original owner can export. The file includes the map's views and locations, so share content you are happy for your friend to receive.
|
||||
|
||||
## Play a map your friend sent
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download their ZIP to your computer.
|
||||
2. Sign in to MineGeo.
|
||||
3. Open **Play & maps** and click **Import** beside the search box. You can also find Import in **My account**.
|
||||
4. Choose the downloaded ZIP. It must be no larger than **256 MB**.
|
||||
5. Wait for MineGeo to prepare it, then open it from your account.
|
||||
|
||||
You do not need Minecraft installed. Keep the ZIP as your friend sent it; MineGeo handles opening it.
|
||||
|
||||
## What can I do with an imported map?
|
||||
|
||||
- Play it privately by yourself.
|
||||
- Host a private multiplayer party and invite friends.
|
||||
- See the original creator's name next to **Owned by**.
|
||||
|
||||
You **cannot publish it, submit it for review, re-export it, or announce its party to Discord**. Private imported games do not add public leaderboard scores. Only the original owner can submit the original map for public review.
|
||||
|
||||
You do not need a moderator's approval to import or play the file.
|
||||
|
||||
> Friend: “I made an easy map.” The first view: identical trees in every direction. 🌳
|
||||
|
||||
## The file will not import
|
||||
|
||||
Check the size and make sure you chose the ZIP MineGeo generated. Ask the owner to export a fresh copy if needed. If it still fails, tell support the error you see.
