Layered SVG and PSD exportFree · no account · no watermark
Map posters and printable maps, made in your browser.
Pick a place and an exact paper size, choose one of 12 map styles, then add routes, places, photos and a title. Download a 300 dpi PNG or a PDF for the printer, or a layered SVG or PSD to keep editing.

Design, add content, and export
Design a custom printable map in three steps.
Finish the poster without leaving the editor.
Titles, photos, map furniture and terrain sit on the same page as the map, so what you see on screen is what comes out of the printer.
Poster layouts
Start from a layout such as City edition, Quiet lines or After dark, then set the title, subtitle, coordinates, margins and paper colour yourself.
Map poster templatesCountry and region shapes
Use the outline of a country or region as the edge of the map, so the streets and coastline of Portugal or Bavaria fill the shape.
Country map postersPhotos pinned to places
Attach photos to places and show them as badges on the map or as a numbered strip with captions under it. A poster holds up to 24 photo stops.
Travel maps with photosCompass, scale bar and QR code
Add a north arrow or compass rose, a metric or imperial scale bar, a labelled coordinate grid, and a QR code that opens the spot in Google Maps.
Printable map makerTerrain and contour lines
Switch on 3D terrain for mountain areas and draw contour lines at the interval and colour you choose.
Topographic mapsMap videos
Record a 5, 10 or 15 second orbit or sway around the map as an MP4, in the page shape or in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 for social posts.
Map video makerSTL relief for 3D printing
Export the terrain inside your print frame as an STL model sized in millimetres, with an optional raised ridge along a route.
3D terrain STLWall preview
See the poster on a wall in a black, white, oak or walnut frame, with or without a mat, before you send it to the printer.

Send a read-only link to the finished design, or paste an iframe embed into a blog post or website.
Share and embed maps
Maps for print, publishing, and planning.
The same editor handles a wedding gift, a trail guide and a property flyer.
Routes and trails
Turn a hike, ride, run or visitor route into a printable map. Draw the route or import a recorded track, mark the stops, and download its elevation profile alongside.
Route map postersReal estate maps
Put a property in its neighbourhood. Add nearby schools, shops and stations from a spreadsheet, outline the district and show how far a 15-minute walk reaches.
Real estate mapsEvents and wayfinding
Show entrances, venues, parking, transport stops and event boundaries on one page for programmes and handouts, then share the same map as a link, an embed on the event site or a QR code.
Share and embed mapsPosters and gifts
Make wall art of a home town, the city where you met, or a road trip with photos from each stop. Pick a style that suits the room, then preview it in a frame.
City map postersPlanning and site context
Combine a base map with administrative boundaries, custom shapes, travel-time areas and markers to explain access and surroundings in a static report.

Frequently asked questions.
The essentials about creating, saving, and exporting your map.
What is Print Map Studio?
Print Map Studio is a free browser-based editor for print-ready maps and map posters. Pick a place, set the page size, choose a style, add routes, places, photos or shapes, and export the finished map.
How do I design a map?
Choose the page size and orientation, move the map to the place you need, select a visual style, then add routes, places or areas. Turn on a poster layout for a title and caption, check the composition on the page, and export when it looks right.
Is Print Map Studio free?
Yes. Every feature and every export format is free, and exports carry no watermark. The only text added to the page is the small map data credit that OpenStreetMap requires.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Open the editor and start designing. Print Map Studio runs in your browser.
Where are my map projects stored?
Your current project autosaves in browser storage on your device. Download a portable project file to keep a backup or to continue on another computer.
Can I choose a custom print size?
Yes. Start from A2, A3, A4, A5, A6 or US Letter, or enter a custom width and height in millimetres, then switch between landscape and portrait.
Which map data files can I import?
You can import GPX, KML and GeoJSON files. Imported routes, points and shapes become editable layers in the project.
Can I draw routes and add places?
Yes. Draw routes as straight lines, arcs or road-following directions, add travel markers along them, and place single markers or a whole list of places. Each layer has its own style.
Can I add many places at once?
Yes. Paste up to 300 rows with coordinates into the place spreadsheet, or up to 25 addresses that the editor looks up for you.
Can I upload a custom marker or logo?
Yes. A place marker can use your own PNG, JPEG or SVG image. Custom markers are saved inside the project file and appear on the live map and in PNG, layered SVG and layered PSD exports.
Can I add photos to the map?
Yes. Pin a photo to a place and show it as a round or square badge on the map, or in a numbered strip with captions along the top or bottom of the page. A poster can hold up to 24 photo stops.
Can I highlight a country or region?
Yes. Pick any country or first-level region from the built-in catalogue and add it as a styled shape, or use its outline as the frame of the whole map.
Can I change map labels and language?
Yes. Adjust text scale, show or hide labels and other map details, and choose local names, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Chinese.
Which online services does the editor use?
Map tiles come from OpenFreeMap. Place search, road routing, map matching and travel-time areas use Mapbox, and elevation data comes from Open-Meteo. Everything else, including exports, runs in your browser.
Which export formats are available?
Print Map Studio exports print-sized PNG, PDF, layered SVG and layered PSD files, plus MP4 map videos and STL terrain models. PDF and SVG keep routes, places and shapes as vector content. PSD puts each content layer in its own SVG Smart Object over the basemap.
Can I make a high-resolution map for print?
Yes. PNG export renders the selected page size at 300 dpi, so an A3 page comes out at about 4961 by 3508 pixels. PDF keeps the exact page dimensions. The editor estimates memory use before very large exports.
Can I make a map video or a 3D print?
Yes. Video export records an orbit or a gentle sway around your map for 5, 10 or 15 seconds at 30 or 60 fps, as MP4 in Chrome, Edge or Safari. STL export turns the terrain into a relief model for a 3D printer, with an optional raised route.
Can I edit the map after export?
Choose layered SVG for named vector groups in Illustrator, Inkscape or Affinity, or layered PSD for separately named Smart Objects in Photoshop. PNG gives you a finished image and PDF an exact page.
How do I receive my exported files?
Exports are created in your browser and download straight to your device.
Can I get my map printed?
Yes. Download a PNG or PDF at the exact page size and send it to any print shop or online printing service. The map print size guide lists pixel sizes for each paper size. Wall preview shows the poster in a black, white, oak or walnut frame first.
Can I share a map online?
Yes. Create a read-only share link or copy an iframe embed code for your website, as described in share and embed maps. The shared map keeps your design and the map attribution.
What map data does Print Map Studio use?
The standard map styles use OpenFreeMap and OpenMapTiles data derived from OpenStreetMap. The required attribution is printed as a small credit in the page margin of every export.
