About OpenMapTiles
OpenMapTiles is the fastest way to run open-source maps. In minutes, you can start serving optimized vector map tiles ready for use in websites, apps, or products.
Project origins
OpenMapTiles is the successor to OSM2VectorTiles, which won the OpenStreetMap Innovation Award in 2016. It started as a bachelor's thesis at OST University in cooperation with Klokan Technologies. Today, it is maintained by the MapTiler team.
The project is primarily maintained by developers and cartographers from the MapTiler team as part of their open-source initiative.
Open styles & schema
OpenMapTiles is a full map stack. We provide beautiful open map styles that you can adapt for your project or commercial product.
Our Vector Tile Schema encodes cartography decisions from OpenStreetMap and Natural Earth. It is 100% free to use, extend, and build upon.
Ready-to-use map data
We turn public OpenStreetMap data into ready-to-use vector tile packages for the whole planet, individual countries, and major cities.
For the fastest start, you can download preprocessed global datasets from commercial providers such as MapTiler Data, or skip downloading altogether and get maps instantly with MapTiler Cloud.
No vendor lock-in
The entire project is open-source (BSD + CC-BY) and relies on open standards. You can run the entire pipeline yourself.
- Adopt our workflow and generate tiles in-house.
- Host your map data completely independently.
- Or use commercial APIs and data from MapTiler to speed up deployment.
