What zoom levels can I select for my download?

Specific zoom levels will be selectable, from broad overviews down to street-level detail. This is intended to let you choose exactly the map detail needed.

In what format are the map tiles saved?

Map tiles will be downloaded in the standard slippy map folder structure. This layout is expected to work directly with most offline map viewers.

What geographic data formats will be available?

OSM geographic data will be exported as XML or PBF extracts. These formats are planned to include nodes, ways, and relations for GIS use.

Is there a way to control download speed?

The download rate will be configurable, designed to comply with OpenStreetMap tile server usage policies while still fetching maps efficiently.

Can I pause and resume a large download?

Progress tracking will include pause, resume, and cancel controls. This is being developed to handle thousands of tiles without losing progress.

What happens if my internet connection drops during a download?

Interrupted downloads will be handled with automatic tile-level retry. The extension aims to resume gracefully without requiring a full restart.

How are the downloaded files organized on my computer?

Output folders will be organized by region, zoom level, and data type. This structure is intended to keep your offline map library tidy.

Which browsers will this extension work on?

It will work on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera across all desktop platforms. Safari and mobile browsers are not planned for support.

About OpenStreetMap Downloader

When you're heading into the backcountry or a region with spotty connectivity, OpenStreetMap Downloader ensures you're never mapless. Draw a bounding box on the map or enter precise coordinates to define exactly the area you need. The extension calculates the tile and data requirements upfront, so you know what to expect.

Select zoom levels from broad overviews down to street-level detail. You can download rendered tiles for offline viewers and raw OSM data extracts in XML or PBF formats. The tiles save in standard slippy map folder structure, ready for any compatible application.

With configurable download rates, you stay compliant with OpenStreetMap server policies while still getting your maps efficiently. Progress tracking and automatic retry on interruptions mean your download completes even if connections falter. Build your offline map library for the places where connectivity can't reach.

Start the download

The extension fetches tiles and data at a configurable rate. Progress tracking covers every tile with automatic retry on failures.

Happy Users

Recent customer feedback

Short, practical feedback from people using OpenStreetMap Downloader in real workflows.

Replaced paper maps for backcountry trips

I lead hiking expeditions in Scandinavia where cell coverage vanishes. Being able to download precise tile sets for our route at the exact zoom levels we need has replaced printed maps entirely.

Helped our GIS data pipeline

Our GIS team was spending hours wrestling with the Overpass API for regional extracts. This gives us clean PBF files for any bounding box in a fraction of the time. Rate limiting keeps us on good terms with OSM too.

Perfect tile structure for development

I am building an offline navigation prototype and needed slippy map tiles for a test region. Downloaded everything in the correct folder structure and dropped it straight into my viewer. Saved me a full day of setup.
