Toggle map labels on or off and rotate the map for a dynamic angle. 3. **Add your words** — Turn on the caption block to show the city name, a subtitle and the exact coordinates, choose your fonts, and add extra text layers for a date, message or name. Drag each text layer into position. 4. **Export for print** — Set the poster size and export scale (up to 3× for print), then download a PNG or JPG. What you see in the preview is exactly what you get — with no watermark. ## Common use cases - Design a personalised map poster of a hometown, wedding city or first date location as a gift. - Create modern map wall art of your neighbourhood or a favourite destination. - Make a coordinates keepsake for an anniversary, engagement or new home. - Produce a matching set of city posters for the places you've lived or travelled. - Generate a clean, branded location graphic for a travel blog, invitation or social post. ## About ### Map Poster Generator — Turn Any Place Into Framed Wall Art The Map Poster Generator is a free online tool that turns any location on earth into a beautiful, print-ready map poster. Search for a city, address or landmark — or fetch your current location — and a clean, stylised map of that place appears instantly. Recolour the water, land, roads and buildings, choose a curated theme, add a title and coordinates, then export a crisp high-resolution PNG or JPG. Everything renders live in your browser using open vector map data, so there are no accounts, no watermarks and no upload of your location to a third party. ### Design like a pro, no design skills needed Start from a hand-tuned theme — Minimal Light, Midnight, Blueprint, Sepia, Ink Mono, Forest, Rosé or Vivid — then make it yours. Because the map is drawn from real vector tiles, you can recolour each feature layer independently: give the water a soft blue, roads a crisp white, land a warm paper tone and buildings a subtle contrast. Add the classic 'CITY • COUNTRY • latitude/longitude' caption block, drop in extra text layers for a date, a message or a name, rotate the map for a dynamic angle, and frame it all with an adjustable margin. What you see on screen is exactly what you export. ### Perfect for gifts, décor and keepsakes Map posters make memorable, personal gifts — mark the city where you met, the place you got married, a hometown, a favourite hike or a dream destination. Print the map of your neighbourhood as modern wall art, create matching poster sets of the cities you've lived in, or design a coordinates keepsake for an anniversary. The high-resolution export scales up to 3× for razor-sharp printing at A3 and 18×24 inch sizes, so your finished piece looks professional whether it hangs on a wall or goes in a frame. ### Open data, private and free The tool uses OpenStreetMap data served through OpenFreeMap's free vector tiles and renders everything with MapLibre GL directly in your browser. Location search uses OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service and 'use my location' relies on your browser's own geolocation — coordinates are only used to centre the map, never stored. There are no API keys, no sign-up and no watermark on your poster. Attribution to OpenStreetMap is included on the map, as the open licence requires. ## FAQ ### Is the Map Poster Generator free and watermark-free? Yes. It's completely free with no sign-up, and your exported poster has no watermark. It renders entirely in your browser using open map data. ### Where does the map data come from? Maps use OpenStreetMap data delivered as free vector tiles by OpenFreeMap and rendered with MapLibre GL. Location search uses OpenStreetMap's Nominatim. Attribution to OpenStreetMap is included on the map, as the open licence requires. ### Can I recolour individual parts of the map? Yes — that's the point. Because the map is vector-based, you can set separate colours for water, land, roads, buildings and labels, plus the paper background and text, for a truly custom look. ### What size and resolution can I export? Choose from portrait, square, landscape and story sizes including A4, A3 and 18×24 inches, and export at 1×, 2× or 3×. The 3× print option produces a crisp, high-resolution image suitable for framing. ### Is my location private? Yes. 'Use my location' relies on your browser's own geolocation permission and the coordinates are only used to centre the map — nothing is stored or sent anywhere except the OpenStreetMap search request you trigger. ### Can I add my own text to the poster? Yes. There's a caption block for the city name, subtitle and coordinates, plus free text layers you can position, rotate, resize and recolour for dates, names or messages. --- ToolNova — free, privacy-first browser tools.
