How to use the Country Dropdown HTML
- The page starts with Countries selected; choose the label (name, flag + name, or name with code) and the value (ISO code or name).
- Pin your most common countries with Show first, for example
US, GB, CA. - Group by continent with
<optgroup>, or pick a label language for a translated list. - Copy the HTML, React, Vue or JSON.
A country list that stays correct
The list follows ISO 3166-1 — the standard used by payment providers, shipping APIs and browsers — and names are produced by your browser’s internationalization support, so they are spelled correctly in every language. Use the two-letter code (US, DE, JP) as the value: it is what Stripe, address APIs and databases expect. Flags are emoji built from the code, so they need no images; Windows shows them as letter pairs.

Frequently asked questions
How many countries are in the list?
All 249 ISO 3166-1 countries and territories. Untick Include territories to keep only independent countries (about 195) and leave out places like Puerto Rico, Greenland or Hong Kong.
Do the flags work everywhere?
Flag emoji show on macOS, iOS, Android and Linux. Windows displays them as two letters (like US), so choose “Name” as the label if most of your users are on Windows.
Can I get the list in another language?
Yes. Country, language, currency, month and weekday names come from your browser’s built-in translations — pick the label language and the whole list is translated and sorted for it.
Which formats can I export?
An HTML
Can I install Country Dropdown HTML as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. Country Dropdown HTML is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
