About markerPrints

The editor runs in your browser

Designing needs no account, and neither does buying: the project is kept in this browser’s local storage, and the image is drawn on a canvas on your own machine. A poster reaches our side at the moment you pay for it, because the price and the order have to be worked out somewhere — and an email address is asked for after the payment, not before, so that what you bought opens on another device. A marker photo you upload never travels with it. Over the network go map tiles, whatever you type into search, and, once there is a purchase, your order and the address on it.

How it works

1. 1. Places & marker — one place or several — found by search, coordinates, a city list, or by clicking the map — each wearing an emoji or your own image.
2. 2. Frame the map — rectangle, heart, circle, hexagon and more, or your own SVG, in any print format from 1:2 to 2:1; then drag and zoom until the framing is right.
3. 3. Map — six presets, each adjustable down to the colour of a road.
4. 4. Poster — optional: print the map on a sheet with a title, your names, the date and the coordinates underneath.
5. 5. Export — up to 4× resolution, PNG or JPEG.

Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. The OpenStreetMap Foundation’s guidelines let a printed map or a static image carry that credit beside the map — in a caption, a footnote or an acknowledgements section — rather than on the artwork itself, which is why this page exists and why your export comes out clean. If you publish, sell or print what you make here, credit the map as “© OpenStreetMap contributors”. The Export step can also print the line onto the image if you would rather it travelled with the file.
