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.

Render faster with the Mapimator export queue

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.
