A wallpaper studio, not a screenshot button

mapWall Studio turns real OpenStreetMap cartography into something you would actually set as a wallpaper. Search any city, street, or coastline, or start from ten curated compositions — Venice, Manhattan, and Palm Jumeirah among them — each arriving with its own camera angle and theme already set.

Palettes that repaint the whole map

Fourteen looks ship with the studio: four native map styles (Dark Matter, Fiord, Liberty, Positron) and ten duotones — Blueprint, Bone Atlas, Brasslight, Ember, Foundry, Glacier, Neon Grid, Rosewood, Sakura, and Verdigris. A duotone is not a stored image: it remaps every paint colour of the base style through a three-stop luminance ramp at runtime, with dedicated overrides for water, greenery, roads, and background, so one palette recolours everything on screen. Shuffle rolls fresh themes from five colour recipes, and the blueprint builder takes six colours of your choosing — dark, mid, light, roads, water, green — and makes a palette from scratch.

Labels under your direction

Eight toggle groups govern place names, streets, POIs, and water names, plus roads, buildings, green areas, and boundaries, and a six-stop slider walks the density from city names only down to every last street. Names default to each place's local language, with a switch for English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, and Punjabi wherever the map data carries a translation. In the label studio you tap real names on the map — several at once if you like — and hide them, keep only them, or replace them; a replacement inherits the original's rendered size, colour, halo, and font, so it starts as an identical twin you can restyle. Empty ground takes custom labels of your own, draggable into place.

Exports sized for actual screens

Eight presets run from Full HD (1920 × 1080) through 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) to tablet (2048 × 2732), with custom dimensions anywhere from 512 to 6016 pixels per side. Exporting launches a second, hidden map at the exact target resolution, waits for its tiles, and writes the PNG — optionally baking in light paper grain and the OpenStreetMap credit line, which is on by default and worth keeping. Before rendering, the studio probes your GPU's texture ceiling and names the limit if you ask for more.

No server in the loop

Tiles stream from OpenFreeMap and place search goes to OpenStreetMap's geocoder at the rate its policy requires; everything else — composing, recolouring, exporting — happens on your machine. Nothing you make is uploaded, and there is no account. Copy Link folds the whole recipe into the URL — camera position, palette with any custom colours, orientation, resolution, toggles, and language — so the person you send it to opens the same wallpaper. Free, no signup.
