Render faster with the Mapimator export queue
How Mapimator exports work today: in-browser rendering, a tile preparation pass, and the resolution options on Free and Pro.
By Mapimator Engineering#Product Updates#Performance

Studios juggling multiple projects told us their biggest bottleneck was waiting on renders. Exports now run in your browser, so there is no server-side render queue to wait in: your video starts rendering as soon as you click Export.
What happens during an export
- A preparation pass first walks through your slides at high speed so map tiles, 3D buildings and labels are loaded before capture. Why exports look professional explains this in detail.
- The Export window lets you pick MP4 or GIF, resolution and frame rate.
- Free plans export at 480p and 30 FPS with a small mapimator.com watermark. Pro unlocks 4K and 60 FPS, removes the watermark, and includes up to 100 exports a month.
Render time depends on your computer, your connection and the length and resolution of the video, so a stable connection and leaving the tab open help most.
