Conçu par une seule personne qui aime les cartes
Cartosketch est un projet solo — pas d'équipe, pas d'investisseurs, pas de comité de feuille de route. Juste un développeur qui essaie de rendre plus simple la transformation de lieux réels en œuvres d'art.

Why Cartosketch exists
Every AI map tool I tried in 2025 did the same thing: generate a fictional world from a text prompt. But the maps I actually wanted were of real places — the street where I grew up, the neighbourhood a friend was about to move to, the exact stretch of coast in a short story I was writing. None of the fantasy generators could do that, because none of them started from real geographic data.
Cartosketch is the version I wanted to exist. It pulls a real Mapbox render of the place you pick, then runs that render through an AI model that restyles it — watercolor, ink wash, cartoon sketch, or whatever you describe. The geometry is real. The styling is generated. You get a map of an actual place on Earth, rendered as art.
What I care about
- Real places, not fake ones. Every output is grounded in actual Mapbox geographic data. Streets, coastlines, and landmarks match reality.
- Honest pricing. Credits never expire on packs. Subscriptions are straightforward. No hidden limits. No dark patterns.
- Usable output. Print-ready up to 4K PNGs with no watermarks. Commercial use allowed on every plan. If you pay for it, it's yours.
- Small by design. I answer support email. I ship changes the same day if they matter. If something is broken, just email me.
