Clickable Image Maps for SharePoint Online & Microsoft Teams

Image Maps for SharePoint is a no-code web part that turns any image into interactive navigation. Draw hotspots over a floor plan, org chart, process diagram, campus map or product photo, choose what each one opens, and publish it on any SharePoint page or Teams tab.

Replace rows of buttons and link lists with one clear picture people actually click. Hotspots can follow links, open SharePoint content in a popup or side panel, jump between floors, or show tooltips pulled from a SharePoint list.

What is a SharePoint image map?

An image map is one image with several clickable areas, called hotspots. Each hotspot can open a different page, document, popup or side panel. Modern SharePoint cannot do this out of the box: the Image web part links the whole picture to a single address, and modern pages block the HTML <map> tag and custom script. Image Maps for SharePoint adds the missing feature as a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) web part that runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Compare every method in our step-by-step guide.

How SharePoint Image Maps works

  1. Add the Image Map web part to any SharePoint page, full-page app or Microsoft Teams tab.
  2. Pick your image from a SharePoint picture library, browse for one, or start from one of 50 built-in maps of countries, continents and the world.
  3. Draw hotspots with polygon, rectangle, ellipse and icon tools, then choose what each one does: follow a link, open a popup or side panel, go to another floor, or run a script.
  4. Save and publish. The map is responsive on desktop, tablet and phone, and any later edits update every page that shows it.

Turn every image into a way to get somewhere

People look at images before they read text. Image Maps for SharePoint turns the pictures already on your intranet into navigation: fewer buttons and link lists, sharper pages, and a more intuitive way to find things. Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 31 ratings on Microsoft Marketplace.

SharePoint Image Maps FAQ

Can you create a clickable image map in SharePoint Online?

Yes, but not with the built-in web parts. The standard Image web part links the whole picture to one address. Image Maps for SharePoint adds a no-code web part where you draw several hotspots on one image, and each hotspot can open a page, document, popup, side panel or another floor.

Why does an HTML image map (the <map> tag) not work on modern SharePoint pages?

Modern SharePoint pages do not let you paste raw HTML or script, so the classic <map> and <area> technique is stripped out. The old workaround of uploading an ASPX file and showing it in the Embed web part needs custom script, and since November 2024 SharePoint Online switches custom script off again every 24 hours. A web part built on the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) avoids both problems.

Does Image Maps work in Microsoft Teams?

Yes. The same image map can be shown as a web part on a SharePoint page, as a full-page app, or as a Microsoft Teams tab.

Can I build an interactive floor plan or office map?

Yes. Upload the floor plan, draw a hotspot over each room, desk area or facility, and link it to the right page, document or popup. Multi-storey buildings can use multiple floors in one map, with a go-to-floor action and an optional auto-sliding carousel. See our floor plan guide.

Do I need to write any code?

No. Hotspots are drawn with a drag-and-drop editor, and actions, styles and tooltips are set from menus. Anyone who can edit a SharePoint page can build an image map.

Where is my data stored?

Image Maps is installed from Microsoft AppSource into your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Your image maps are saved in SharePoint in your tenant and it works with your existing SharePoint permissions, so no data leaves your Microsoft 365 environment.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. You get a 14-day free trial with full functionality from Microsoft AppSource. After the trial you buy a licence directly from APPS 365 or request an invoice for purchase order processing.

How much does Image Maps for SharePoint cost?

Licences are annual and based on the number of users in your Microsoft 365 tenant: Site £999 a year (up to 500 users), Site Collection £2,999 a year (up to 2,500 users) and Tenant £4,999 a year (up to 10,000 users). Prices exclude applicable taxes. Contact us for tenants above 10,000 users.

What happened to the SharePoint Image Maps Add-in?

Microsoft retired SharePoint Add-ins in SharePoint Online in April 2026. Image Maps had already moved to the SharePoint Framework: the old SharePoint-hosted add-in and the SPFx web part are now one Image Map web part that you edit and display in place on the page. If you still use the old add-in, contact us for help moving to the web part.
