Loading ZIP outlines…
Circle is measured from where you first press; Lasso follows your outline. The switch under Add and Remove decides which ZIPs count: Touching (any ZIP the shape touches), Center in (the ZIP's center point is inside) or Fully in (the whole ZIP is inside). For an exact distance, type a ZIP above and press Radius.
To leave out PO Box or single-organization ZIPs (a company, university or government office), or to keep only those, uncheck the others under ZIP types in the list panel.
The dotted grip on each box moves it: click or tap the grip to fold the box away, drag it to put the box somewhere else.
About ZipZoomer: what it does, the data it uses, and answers to common questions.
ZipZoomer turns a list of ZIP codes into a map: paste them, or import a file, and each ZIP code lights up in yellow with its real outline. You see at once where your customers, stores or targets are, which ZIP codes are missing between them, and which entries are not ZIP codes at all.
The list panel is open on this page with the cursor in the box (on a phone, the list slides up from the bottom). Paste your list there.
Anything else with a digit in it, such as a four-digit number, a phone number or a Canadian postal code, is flagged rather than guessed at. So is a five-digit code that is not a current ZIP code on the map. Words without digits are skipped.
Select the ZIP column in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, copy it and paste it into the box. Watch for lost leading zeros: spreadsheets often store 02134 as 2134, which is flagged. ZIP codes in New England, New Jersey and Puerto Rico start with 0. Format the column as text, or use a formula such as =TEXT(A2,"00000"), before copying. If the file has other columns with numbers in them (street numbers, phone numbers), copy only the ZIP column so they are not flagged.
Every ZIP code in your list is highlighted in yellow, with dots for PO Box and single-organization ZIP codes. The panel shows how many counties and states the list covers and its 2020 Census population. Point at a ZIP code on a computer to see its city and county. To compare two lists, map one, press Copy share link, then Clear all ZIPs and map the other.
After fixing flagged entries and adding or removing ZIP codes on the map, export the result: comma, tab or new-line separators, optional quotes, sorted by ZIP number or in the order added, or a table with city, state, county and type for a spreadsheet. Download file saves a .csv, .tsv or .txt file.
There is no set limit. A paste of a few thousand ZIP codes is read in a moment, and so is the whole country, all 41,063 ZIP codes.
Yes. A code such as 10001-2345 is read as 10001. The exported list has five-digit ZIP codes.
No. ZipZoomer covers U.S. ZIP codes in the 50 states, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico. Canadian postal codes are flagged as not recognized.
Usually a lost leading zero (2134 instead of 02134), a typo, or a ZIP code that is not on the map: military APO and FPO codes, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and ZIP codes retired by USPS. The flagged entries are listed under the box.
Pasting adds to what is in the box. To start fresh, press Clear all ZIPs first, or select all the text in the box and paste over it. Undo brings back the previous list either way.
No. It stays in your browser. Only Copy share link puts it into a link, and only people you send that link to see it.
