Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print CartoSketch maps?
Yes. CartoSketch generates maps at up to 2K resolution (2048x2048 px) on the Credit Pack and Pro plans, which is print-ready for posters, framed wall art, photo books, and other large-format uses. The Plus plan outputs 1K, ideal for digital use on screens, slides, and social media. Downloads are always watermark-free.
What resolution are the generated maps?
Generated maps are 1K (1024x1024) on the Plus plan and 2K (2048x2048) on the Credit Pack and Pro plans. 2K provides four times the pixels of 1K and is sharp enough for A4/letter-size poster prints at full quality. All plans offer unlimited free downloads.
Can I generate a map of any location?
Yes — CartoSketch works with real Mapbox geographic data, so you can generate stylized art of virtually any location on Earth: city neighborhoods, mountain ranges, coastlines, landmarks, or your own street. Just search for an address or place name and zoom to the exact view you want.
How long does it take to generate a map?
Most maps are generated in under 60 seconds. The AI processes the real-world map data from Mapbox and applies your chosen art style — Cartoon, Watercolor, or Ink Wash — to produce the finished image. The inpainting tool for refining specific areas also runs in under a minute.
Are the map locations real places?
Yes. CartoSketch is built on real Mapbox geographic data, not AI-invented terrain. The streets, coastlines, rivers, and landmarks in your generated art correspond to actual places on Earth. This is what sets CartoSketch apart from fantasy map generators — you get location-accurate art, not fictional worlds.
