How do I make a neighborhood map for a property listing?

Open Krymp Map, search the address, zoom out until the neighborhood fits, pick Noir or Krymp style and the 1:1 format. Turn off street labels if the seller wants privacy, export as JPG at 2× — the map is 2160×2160 px and ready for any property carousel.

What agents want

A listing carousel shows 6–12 images. A map that shows proximity to transit, water or parks gives buyers context that room photos can't. An agent's built-in widget is often messy — a still image is cleaner.

Zoom level matters

Too close = only rooflines. Too far = only the neighborhood shape. Aim for the whole neighborhood plus one adjacent transit stop or waterway.

Privacy

For homes where the seller wants anonymity until first showing — turn off the label layer. The exact address can't be read but the area is still recognizable. See also Mask image for the property photos themselves.

For brochure PDF

In printed or PDF brochures use A4 at 4×. The map becomes 2480×3508 px and holds 300 DPI even when the printer scales it down to half page.

Vanliga frågor

Can I use the map in a commercial property listing?

Yes. OpenStreetMap data is ODbL-licensed and free for real-estate use — credit "© OpenStreetMap contributors" in the listing footer.

What format do listings prefer?

Property listing carousels want JPG at minimum 1024×1024 px. The 1:1 format at 2× gives 2160×2160 px and meets the requirement with room to spare.

Can I hide street names for seller privacy?

Yes — turn off the label layer. Only geometry (streets, parks, water) is shown without exact addresses being called out.
