A new open-source tool called MapToPoster lets users transform city maps into stylized posters. By inputting a city and country, the Python script generates minimalist artwork using OpenStreetMap data and customizable themes like "neon_cyberpunk" or "japanese_ink".

The tool taps into a growing trend of data-driven art and personalization. With 17 built-in themes and support for custom designs, it appeals to developers and designers wanting unique urban prints without expensive software.

Output files are saved as PNGs, ideal for framing or digital display. Users can tweak road styles, distances, and even add layers like parks or water. The project is hosted on GitHub and already gaining traction among DIY mapping enthusiasts.

Future updates may include more export formats and interactive previews. For now, it’s a nimble way to turn any city into wall art.
