OSM2VectorTiles

⚠️ OSM2VectorTiles is claimed to be breaching intellectual property rights of Mapbox Inc. by implementing schema of vector tiles designed by this company (details in #387). It is not recommended to use this project in production systems. The project is no longer maintained. Please switch to the successor project https://openmaptiles.org which implements a new open Vector Tile Schema free of similar claims https://openmaptiles.org/schema/.

For a detailed information, please visit project site.

OSM2VectorTiles makes is possible to create vector tiles from OpenStreetMap data.

Create a custom base map in minutes with our free vector tiles from OpenStreetMap data. This is the easiest way how to switch to OSM thanks to MapBox open-source tools. Design your own map of world or country, serve raster or vector tiles from any virtual server or your own infrastructure, even offline behind a firewall.

  • Create new Mapbox GL style: Design beautiful maps with the new Mapbox Studio and use them together with osm2vectortiles.

If you want to adapt the OSM2VectorTiles workflow to create vector tiles yourself the detailed usage guide will get you started.

  • Detailed Usage Guide: Create your own planet scale vector tiles with a distributed workflow using the OSM2VectorTiles components.

You should also check out our associated bachelor thesis Updatable Vector Tiles from OpenStreetMap if you like a more scientific approach to the project.
