Get map without OpenStreetMap attribution
The © OpenStreetMap attribution is a mandatory part of the MapTiler attribution and should appear on every map. You can only remove it if your map doesn’t contain any data protected by the OpenStreetMap (OSM) license. This page explains how to update your map to use only non-OSM data.
1. Replace map data source
All MapTiler maps use the MapTiler Planet dataset as their main source of detailed global map data. This dataset is based on OSM data. We offer another global dataset which doesn’t contain any OSM data, and that is MapTiler Planet Lite. So, if you want to remove the OpenStreetMap attribution from your map, first you need to switch its main data source from MapTiler Planet to MapTiler Planet Lite.
Note that MapTiler Planet Lite, as the name suggests, is “light”, meaning it contains much less data. The maximum zoom level is 10 (for MapTiler Planet it’s 15). This is fine for showing global context on the level of countries and larger administrative units, but not for detailed maps.
How to switch to Planet Lite
These instructions currently only work for Satellite and Ocean maps.
- In your MapTiler account, page Maps, select the map you want to use and click Customize a copy. (If you’ve already customized the map before, you’ll be able to Customize it directly, without creating another copy.)
- In the map editor, select Data sources in the left menu.
- Right-click on the MapTiler Planet data source and select Replace.
- In the new window, search for “MapTiler Planet Lite”, select it, and confirm replacement.
- Save and Publish the map under a name of your choice.
2. Remove attribution
Now you can start using your map without the © OpenStreetMap attribution in videos, print, on the web, or in games.
