In the developer's words
Use Figma to create purely vector street-level maps with Placemark. This plugin is a bit different than the rest. By loading data from OpenStreetMap, it enables you to create maps without an API key. As long as you credit OpenStreetMap, you can also freely print and republish the maps you make.
This plugin directly loads data and transforms it into vector data, which means:
- Styles for the map can be defined in Figma, rather than in a separate map design tool
- You can move, edit, and move map data like you do with any other drawn feature
Plus, some cool features
- Customizable label sizes with label collision detection to prevent overlapping labels
- Ability to add your own GeoJSON data to the map
Note that this is a particular solution to the problem, so it has certain caveats:
- Maps need to be zoomed in. You can't use this tool to create world-scale maps - it's better for mapping neighborhoods.
This plugin is open source! Follow along or contribute on GitHub.

What's new
Version 16 · released May 29, 2026
- This release switches from overpass-api.de to overpass.kumi.systems as an overpass implementation. The former now requires query headers that we can't provide. The kumi.systems/private.coffee server does not, but is slower.
