OSM Carto

OSM Carto is a design or style used to visually represent map data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). It transforms raw geographic information—like roads, buildings, parks, and water bodies—into an easy-to-read, styled map. Think of it as the "skin" or "theme" overlay that makes complex geographic data clear and attractive for users. OSM Carto is open-source, allowing developers to customize how features appear, helping create maps for websites, apps, and various projects that are informative, consistent, and visually appealing.
