Styling

The official MapLibre visual style editor. Design and edit MapLibre GL styles with a graphical interface — no code required.

Convert TrueType and OpenType fonts into signed distance field (SDF) fontstacks used by MapLibre for text rendering on maps.

Command-line tool and Rust library for generating signed distance field fonts. A faster alternative to Font Maker for large font collections.

Generate spritesheets for MapLibre from a directory of SVG icons. Produces the JSON index and PNG atlas needed for map symbol rendering.

Lightweight sprite generation tool that creates MapLibre-compatible spritesheets without requiring Mapnik as a dependency.

MapLibre Style SpecificationOfficial

The JSON style format behind every MapLibre map

The specification of the JSON style format that MapLibre GL JS and MapLibre Native render, with its documentation and a JavaScript package for validating, formatting, and migrating styles and evaluating expressions.

A DSL and compiler for MapLibre styles with variables, color functions, zoom curves, conditionals, and imports across files. The expc CLI compiles and serves style files with type diagnostics.

Loads map marker icons and other assets from Figma frames into a MapLibre GL JS map at runtime, so designers can iterate on icons without a redeploy.

Stamen's web app for comparing several map styles side by side at the same location, for reviewing style changes across branches and providers.

A Rust crate that parses a MapLibre style JSON and renders SVG legend symbols for its layers, one per layer or combined, with labels configurable through layer metadata.

Visual Studio Code extension that previews a style.json in a live MapLibre map as you edit it, validates it against the MapLibre style specification, and lists its sources and layers in a sidebar.

A fast command-line linter, validator, and formatter for MapLibre and Mapbox GL style JSON, written in Rust, that catches spec violations and invisible or deprecated layers locally and in CI.
