Open Finder Window

Go to a Minecraft map website. Skip this method on Android. Some common websites with user-created content include the following:

MinecraftMaps - http://www.minecraftmaps.com/
Planet Minecraft - https://www.planetminecraft.com/resources/projects/
MinecraftSix - http://minecraftsix.com/category/minecraft-maps/

Select a map. Click on a map that you want to download. Doing so should open the map's page, from which point you can download the map.

Alternatively, you can type the name of a map into the site's search bar—which you can usually find at the top of the site—and press ↵ Enter.

Click Download. This button's location will depend on the site, so scroll down if you can't find the Download button.

For some map sites, you may have to click another link or map image before you can click Download.
You may also have to click SKIP AD in the top-right corner of the page to continue to the download page after clicking Download.

Wait for the map to finish downloading. Once the map's ZIP or RAR folder finishes downloading onto your computer, you can proceed.

Unzip the folder. If you're on a Windows computer, you'll need to extract the files from the folder before you can install the map.

On a Mac, simply double-clicking the folder will unzip it.

Open the unzipped map folder. Double-click the folder to open it. There will be another folder inside.

Double-click the folder inside of the map folder. This will most likely open to a folder full of files and folders, including several folders labeled DIM1 and DIM-1. If so, the folder you just opened is the folder you'll need to copy.

Select the map folder. On Windows, you must first click the "Back" button in the top-left corner of the File Explorer. Click the map folder to select it.

Copy the map folder. Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘ Command+C (Mac) to copy the folder. Now that you've copied the map folder, you can continue along to installing it on your computer or smartphone.

On a Mac, you can also click Edit in the top-left corner of the screen and then click Copy in the drop down menu.
