Why FreeStaticMaps?

Building dynamic experiences often calls for a simple yet elegant solution to visualize locations or paths. FreeStaticMaps is designed with developers, designers, and curious minds in mind:

  • 🖼️ High-Quality Maps: Create visually appealing maps in seconds. Perfect for websites, reports, or presentations.

  • 🛠️ Customizable Parameters: From map dimensions to markers and routes, you’re in control.

  • 🚀 Fast and Lightweight: Say goodbye to bloated tools. Generate your maps faster than you can say "coordinates."

  • 🌐 Completely Free: Built for creators, supported by the community. No hidden fees, no licensing nightmares.

How It Works

With a few simple API calls, FreeStaticMaps allows you to define everything from location coordinates to zoom levels and map styles. Want a minimal map highlighting a single city? Done. Need to showcase a route? Easy.

Here’s a quick preview:

This will generate a beautiful map centered around San Francisco, zoomed in just enough to capture its iconic vibe.

Get an API Key

There are currently two ways to get the API access -

  1. Use our offering on RapidAPI for instant setup and launch

  2. Contact us at support@freestaticmaps.com for discussions around your use case and a custom API key setup - might take a few days to activate but you can get an INR payment method and custom limits made just for you!

Interested in the second option but want to test before committing? Head to the first option, try out our Free tier and decide with experience.

If you’re using RapidAPI, use this host: freestaticmaps.p.rapidapi.com in this manner:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://freestaticmaps.p.rapidapi.com/v1/static?lat=12.9674527&lon=77.7238487' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
