Every MapWorks print starts with real geographic data - not stock imagery or screenshots. We pull the actual shapes of coastlines, streets, buildings, parks, and waterways from two of the world's most comprehensive open geodata sources: the Overture Maps Foundation (backed by Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft) and OpenStreetMap, a community-maintained map of the entire planet.
That raw data - hundreds of millions of features covering every continent - lives in a PostGIS spatial database that we built and maintain ourselves. From there, we run a custom pipeline that converts those geographic features into compact, zoomable vector tiles covering the entire globe. These tiles are what power the live preview you see in your browser: as you pan and zoom to any place on Earth, the actual road network, building footprints, water bodies, and land use are drawn in real time, not loaded as a pre-made image.
When you choose a style - from Scandinavian-inspired neutrals to deep charcoals to ocean blues - a four-color palette (land, water, roads, and buildings) is applied across every layer of the map simultaneously. We offer 241 hand-tuned palettes organized into collections like Mapiful Minimalist, Coastal Atmospheres, Professional, Monochrome Gradients, Cinema-Inspired, and Prettymaps. You can also dial in your own custom hex colors.
When you hit "Generate Print," your design is sent to our render server - a headless instance of QGIS, the professional open-source geographic information system used by cartographers worldwide. The server loads the full geospatial project, applies your chosen palette and text settings, composes a print-ready poster layout with precise margins, typography, and optional coordinate labels, then exports to your chosen format: SVG for infinite scalability, PDF for print shops, or high-resolution PNG/JPG at up to 600 DPI for fine art printing.
A post-processing step cleans up the raw export, injecting crisp vector masks and re-rendering all text as native SVG elements so every line and letter stays razor-sharp at any size.
The result is a one-of-a-kind print rendered from the same real-world data that powers professional mapping tools - not a filter on a satellite photo, and not a template with your city name swapped in.
