Welcome

Mapbox Studio is a powerful map design studio for creating radically custom maps using data from Mapbox, OpenStreetMap, and your own custom sources.


Source editor

Every map starts with data

Mapbox Studio gives you instant streaming access to massive global datasets like Mapbox Streets, Mapbox Terrain, and Mapbox Satellite without importing any data onto your computer.

At its core Mapbox Studio is powered by the mapnik vector tile format. The map creation workflow is split between designing custom styles and creating custom sources. Use the Style editor to start designing custom maps right away. Use the Source editor to convert data from traditional formats (Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, GPX) into vector tiles that you can create map styles from.

#road[zoom=14] { line-width: @road_line * 2; line-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.80); }
CartoCSS

Styling with CartoCSS

Designing maps is complex and Mapbox Studio doesn't try to hide it. Instead, it puts the CartoCSS styling language in your hands to give you full control over every zoom level, vector layer, and style decision so that you can become an expert at map design.

CartoCSS stylesheets are insprired by CSS but with a vocabulary specific to cartography. Each selector can be scoped by zoom level [zoom<15], filtered by layer fields [type='park'], and use properties like line-dasharray and polygon-fill.

Dozens of pro fonts

Mapbox Studio comes bundled with over 300 pro fonts selected for use with digital cartography thanks to our friends at FontFont. You'll find a variety of fonts ranging from clean, highly readable sans-serifs to expressive, stylized scripts.


GeoJSON

Shapefile

PostGIS

Creating custom sources

To convert custom data into vector tiles Mapbox Studio provides a Source editor. A source project can include multiple layers from different formats like GeoJSON, CSV, KML, GPX, ESRI Shapefile and access PostGIS database tables.

The Source editor focuses exclusively on the data side of the Mapbox Studio equation. It's designed to create fast, scalable vector tile sources. When you're finished use the Style editor with your custom source to start visualizing your data with fonts, colors, and patterns.

Publish with Mapbox

Projects from Mapbox Studio can be uploaded to Mapbox and accessed through the Mapbox API. Publish your custom styles and add them to your apps and sites in minutes.

Custom sources that are uploaded to Mapbox can be composited with other sources and shared with other users making it possible to collaborate on your map designs without requiring data imports.
