OpenFreeMap is a free and open-source vector map tile hosting solution for websites and apps, built on OpenStreetMap data with MapLibre-compatible styles. It can be consumed via a free public instance with no API keys, registration, or usage limits, or fully self-hosted using the included production setup with weekly full-planet downloads.

Use cases

  • display openstreetmap basemaps on my website for free
  • add maps to a web app without api keys or usage limits
  • self-host a vector tile server for openstreetmap data
  • find a free alternative to mapbox or maptiler for map hosting
  • serve maplibre-gl vector tiles with custom styles
  • download full planet mbtiles for my own map infrastructure
  • avoid per-view map tile billing for a high-traffic site

When to choose

  • You need a production-quality MapLibre/Mapbox-style vector basemap with no API keys, registration, cookies, or view limits
  • You want to self-host complete OpenStreetMap tile infrastructure, including weekly planet-wide tile generation and updates
  • You need custom map styles for websites or apps and want the full production setup to be open source, not open-core

When to avoid

  • You need geocoding, place search, routing, navigation, or directions - the project explicitly does not provide these
  • You need static map image generation or raster tile serving
  • You require a commercial SLA or guaranteed uptime from a vendor rather than a donation-funded public instance
