PlaceToFrame

Turn your favorite locations into beautiful custom posters. Grab a map, style it however you like, and download it as a print-ready image.

What is this?

PlaceToFrame is a simple web tool for creating personalized map posters. Want a poster of your hometown, vacation spot, or that one place that means something to you? Just search for it, pick your style, and boom — you've got a poster ready to frame.

Getting Started

First, install the dependencies:

npm install

Then fire up the dev server:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser and start creating.

Build for Production

Ready to ship it? Run:

npm run build

This spits out an optimized build in the dist/ folder.

Tech Stack

• React for the UI
• Vite for lightning-fast dev builds
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• Canvas API for rendering map posters

How It Works

Pick a location, choose from different map themes and resolutions, and generate a poster. Everything renders on canvas and downloads as an image — no server needed, all client-side magic.
