Exporting to PNG or other raster format.

[Kwoalaka]

Hi,

Is there anyway to export this to a PNG or any other raster format?

I know i can create a printscreen, but i wanted to have a bigger resolution for a print.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Kwoalaka and welcome to the Maputnik community. This has already been raised over in issue #180. Take a look at that issue and let us know if the suggested solution meets your requirements.

Also if you have time, please tell us what you use Maputnik for over in #164. Hearing stories helps to keep us motivated 😄

Hi Roangemug,

I noticed, i was looking for a easy exporting method like mapbox offers.

Is there anyway i can use the json file with mapertive or something?

Sorry, i'm a complete noob with this

Hey @Kwoalaka so we are working on a raster export option, and we're getting closer to a working solution. We are however we're still some way off a working version, probably a few weeks.

For some clarification. Maputnik is an editor for the mapbox-gl-js style spec,
you can export the JSON from the 'export modal' in the editor and use it anywhere you like. In issue #180 @pathmapper suggested some existing tools to export as a raster. pkd2512 print maps seems like the easiest way at the moment. If you're comfortable with node.js/npm here are the steps

1. Create a new directory and place your exported style in that directory
2. cd to that directory
3. Install http-server npm i http-server in that directory
4. run ./node_modules/.bin/http-server --cors
5. Go to http://prasantakrdutta.com/print-maps add a custom style with the url http://127.0.0.1:8081/PATH/TO/YOUR/STYLE.json, using either a mapbox access token or a random string if you're not using mapbox data sources
6. Your style will now appear in the select box on that page ready to export
