Without the pass / With the pass

Free signed-in exports include a light brand watermark. The pass removes it. That's the whole difference here.

Free export · watermark

Pass export · clean

Same map. Your colors.

Custom presets let you set per-feature colors, line widths, and visibility. Save them, switch between them, keep going.

Save a preset while your pass is active and it stays on your account: stay signed in and you can keep selecting it from the menu and editing it after the pass expires. Spinning up an entirely new preset from scratch still needs an active pass.

Stop at the border.

Region clip uses the OSM admin boundary so neighbours don't bleed into the export. The geometry is real, not a smooth blob.

Why this exists

RailsMaps started as a personal rabbit hole and stayed that way. The free signed-in export is here to stay.

The pass is the optional bit — watermark-free export, creating brand-new presets, and it pays for the tiles, the domains, and servers. Presets you already saved keep working on the map while you're signed in, pass active or not.

Pick a pass

Day or week. Stripe checkout. No subscription. The pass works on both RailsMaps and FreakMaps with the same account.

One pass works on RailsMaps and FreakMaps. Sign in on each domain.

Honest answers

Is this a subscription?: No. Day pass or week pass, expires when it expires, that's it. Buy another one when you need it.
Does the pass work on both apps?: Yes. Same account on RailsMaps and FreakMaps gets you the same pass. Sign in on each domain.
What does region clip actually do?: It crops the export to the OSM admin boundary of the selected region. Neighbouring countries stop at the border instead of bleeding into the image.
What size are the PNGs?: Whatever your browser canvas is at the current device pixel ratio. Bigger window, bigger export. No upscaling magic.
What about refunds?: Email and we'll sort it out. There's no automated refund button — it's a one-person side project, not a checkout funnel.
Do my custom presets disappear when the pass expires?: No. Stay signed in and your saved presets stay in the list — switch to them and edit whenever you like. You need an active pass to create a brand-new preset from scratch, or when you want clean, watermark-free exports and the other paid perks.

Open a map. Style it. Export it.

Pass active? Just open the map and hit export.
