About
The ultimate tool for creating minimalist city map posters.
MapofCities is a poster-first cartography project designed to make discovering and creating beautiful city map posters effortless. We believe that maps are not just for navigation—they are pieces of art that connect us to the places we love, where we grew up, or where we've traveled.
Published City Archive
To get you started instantly, our public archive ships with a curated set of published city pages covering major cities across multiple countries. You can browse those collections by country and open ready-made map poster pages without any configuration.
Support for Any Location Globally
Can't find your hometown or a specific neighborhood in our pre-generated list? No problem. The MapofCities Studio is powered by global map data, meaning you can search for and generate a poster for any location on Earth. Simply type in the name of your town, village, or specific coordinates, and watch the map render in real-time.
Powerful Studio Customization
Our Studio editor provides fine-grained control over the aesthetics of your map, allowing you to create truly unique artwork. You can customize:
- ✦ Map Styles & Themes: Choose between standard minimalist themes (light/dark modes) or switch to Artistic Vector mode for creative color palettes (e.g., Cyber Noir, Blueprint).
- ✦ Typography: Dozens of premium Google Fonts available for the city title, country, and coordinates to match your interior design.
- ✦ Composition & Layout: Adjust perspective zoom, apply cinematic vignette or radial effects, and position your text overlay exactly where you want it.
- ✦ Markers & Routes: Drop custom location pins (dots, hearts, stars) or draw custom A-to-B routes to commemorate a special journey.
- ✦ Passepartout (Mat): Add elegant digital borders and adjust the map's corner radius for a framed look.
- ✦ Output Formats: Export in various standard poster aspect ratios (A-series, 18x24, 24x36, etc.) as ultra-high-resolution PNGs ready for printing.
