# Print Map Studio > Print Map Studio is a free browser-based editor for print-ready maps and map posters. It needs no account and adds no watermark. Exports include 300 dpi PNG, exact-size PDF, layered SVG, layered PSD, MP4 map video and STL terrain relief. Projects are designed and exported in the browser and autosave on the device. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors through OpenFreeMap and OpenMapTiles. ## Start - [Homepage](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/): Make a printable map or map poster in your browser. Pick a place and an exact paper size, add routes and photos, then export PNG, PDF, SVG or PSD. Free. - [Map editor](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/editor/): Create and export a map in the browser. ## Map posters - [Printable map maker](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/printable-map-maker/): Print-document maps: A2–A6, US Letter or custom millimetre pages sized to a text column, styles and label settings that read on paper, routes, places, scale bar, coordinate grid, compass and location QR, and 300 DPI PDF or PNG export for Word, InDesign or a print shop. - [City map posters](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/city-map-poster/): Guide to making a city map poster in Print Map Studio: choosing the ground width and scale for an A3 page, controlling label density and language, and picking one of 12 map styles. Exports are 300 DPI PNG, PDF, layered SVG or layered PSD. - [Country map posters](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/country-map-poster/): Print Map Studio can clip the map to a country or first-level region outline (Natural Earth 5.1.1 boundaries, 258 countries and territories) using an inverted mask filled with the paper colour. The page explains how the frame works, how to handle large and small countries and far-off territories, and title typography. - [Wedding map posters](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/wedding-map-poster/): Guide to making a wedding or anniversary map poster in Print Map Studio: marking two places with place markers or an arc route, writing the title and date, how the coordinates line is derived from the map centre, choosing paper colour, and preparing PDF or 300 DPI PNG files for a print shop. - [Travel maps with photos](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/travel-map-with-photos/): Print Map Studio can attach PNG or JPEG photos to point places on a map, show them as numbered circles or squares on the map, and add a numbered photo strip with captions above or below the map. A project holds up to 24 photo stops; each photo is up to 1 MiB and 2048 pixels per side. - [Map poster templates](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/map-poster-templates/): Print Map Studio has five poster layout presets (City edition, Quiet lines, After dark, Land & outline, Field notes) and four starter cities (Lisbon, Kyoto, New York, Copenhagen). Switching layout keeps the map position, layers, photos and title text and changes paper colour, type, ink colour, margins and map style. ## Routes and terrain - [GPX map maker](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/gpx-map-maker/): How GPX, KML and GeoJSON files (up to 10 at once, 5 MB each) become editable route, waypoint and shape layers, how to style and road-match a track, how to download an elevation profile as SVG, PNG or PDF, and how to frame and export the map. - [Route map posters](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/route-map-poster/): Guide to designing a printed running, cycling or hiking route poster from a GPX export: page size, route line width (0.3 mm per pixel in PDF, SVG and PSD), start and finish places, poster text and a separately downloaded elevation profile. - [Topographic maps](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/topographic-map-maker/): Elevation contours (interval 10 to 10,000 m, index line every fifth contour) and 3D terrain (exaggeration 0 to 10x, camera pitch up to 60 degrees) drawn from AWS Terrain Tiles on a print map, with guidance on intervals and when tilted terrain suits a print. - [3D terrain STL](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/3d-terrain-map-stl/): Binary STL terrain relief export in millimetres: 10 to 1000 mm per side, 0.2 to 100 mm base, 0.1 to 50x exaggeration, 64, 128 or 256 samples on the long side, and an optional raised route ridge. Elevation from AWS Terrain Tiles (Mapzen). - [Travel time maps](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/travel-time-map/): Travel-time areas (isochrones) from the Mapbox Isochrone API for walking, cycling or driving, 5 to 60 minutes, added to a print map as editable shape layers that export as vectors in PDF, SVG and PSD. ## Export and share - [Layered SVG and PSD export](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/layered-map-export/): Differences between the print exports: 300 DPI PNG with stored DPI, exact-size PDF with vector overlays over a 300 DPI basemap, layered SVG with named vector groups and an optional vector basemap, and layered PSD with Smart Objects; plus MP4 video and STL terrain exports. - [Map video maker](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/map-video-maker/): MP4 video export of a finished map poster with an orbit (one full turn) or sway camera motion: 5, 10 or 15 seconds, 30 or 60 fps, poster, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 aspect, up to 1920 px. Recorded in the browser with MediaRecorder in Chrome, Edge and Safari. - [Share and embed maps](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/share-and-embed-maps/): Print Map Studio compresses the whole project into the URL fragment of a read-only share link (up to 64 KB), offers an iframe embed with a 240–2000 px height and an optional pan and zoom toggle, and can print a location QR code that opens Google Maps. ## Guides & comparisons - [Map print size guide](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/map-print-size-guide/): Reference tables for A6 to A1, US Letter, Tabloid, 18 x 24 in, 50 x 70 cm and 24 x 36 in with pixel dimensions at 150 and 300 DPI (pixels = mm / 25.4 x DPI), viewing-distance guidance, margins, bleed and safe area, and which export format to send a print shop. - [Printmaps.net alternative](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/printmaps-net-alternative/): Comparison checked on 19 October 2026. Printmaps.net sells a licence per map priced by file type and print run (US prices: PNG $6–$129, layered PSD $25–$319, layered SVG $59–$799) with invoices, API and white-label options. Print Map Studio is free and exports PNG, PDF, layered SVG and layered PSD in the browser without an account. ## Use cases - [Real estate maps](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/real-estate-location-map/): Workflow for property listing maps: paste up to 300 nearby places with coordinates or look up 25 addresses at a time, add a walking or driving travel-time area, a location QR code that opens Google Maps, numbered photo stops, and export at flyer sizes such as A4 or US Letter. ## Project - [About](https://printmaps.yasoob.me/about/): Print Map Studio is a free, print-first map editor maintained by Yasoob Khalid, with source code on GitHub.
