Introducing GlobeFlags – A Beautiful, Open-Source Collection of World Flags

#opensource #flags #design #tools

Flags are more than just colorful rectangles — they represent people, culture, and identity. Whether you’re building a travel app, an education platform, a data dashboard, or even a global game, there’s a good chance you’ll need high-quality national flags.

That’s exactly why I created GlobeFlags — an open-source, developer-friendly repository of every national flag in the world, neatly organized, and available in multiple formats.

📦 What Is GlobeFlags?

GlobeFlags is a curated collection of national flags from every recognized country on Earth. Unlike many flag resources that are incomplete, inconsistent, or limited in format, GlobeFlags is made with creators in mind:

  • 🎨 Multiple Formats: SVG, PNG, EPS, and PSD
  • 🧱 Two Styles: Round corners and square corners
  • 📐 Consistent Dimensions and export quality
  • 💼 Ready to Use in apps, websites, maps, dashboards, and more

It’s designed to be simple, reliable, and customizable.

🔍 Why I Made It

As a developer and designer, I’ve often found myself searching for decent flag assets — sometimes only finding low-res PNGs, inconsistent file names, or missing formats altogether. So I decided to compile a high-quality, well-structured, and complete resource that others can use freely.

📁 Folder Structure Overview

Each flag is placed in both round and square variants, and available in four formats to meet the needs of developers and designers alike.

⚡ Who Should Use This?

GlobeFlags is great for:

  • 🌐 Web and app developers
  • 🧑‍🏫 Educational platform builders
  • 🗺️ Interactive map designers
  • 📊 Data dashboard creators
  • 🎨 UI/UX and graphic designers
  • 🧪 Hackathon and personal project tinkerers

Whether you're a solo indie hacker or part of a dev team, GlobeFlags can save you time and improve your work.

🚀 How to Get Started

You can download the full flag pack as a ZIP archive:

🔗 Download ZIP

Or clone it directly using Git:

git clone https://github.com/neyaznafiz/globeflags.git

Everything is organized, cleanly named, and ready to plug into your project.

🤝 Contributions Welcome

I plan to continue improving GlobeFlags over time — adding variants, optimizing assets, and accepting contributions from the community. If you’d like to help:

  • ⭐ Star the repo to show support

  • 🍴 Fork and contribute improvements

  • 🛠️ Suggest missing flags or better formats

Also, I am planning to write a library package for flags. You are welcome to contribute if you are interested.

💭 Final Thoughts

Designing and building globally-focused apps shouldn’t come with friction.
With GlobeFlags, I hope to make it easier for creators to access the assets they need — free, open-source, and with zero hassle.
