Plenty of white space and one short line — your star map stays the hero of the sheet.

Focus

An oversized date and a bold constellation outline; everything else quietly steps back.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about creating, editing, and exporting your poster in Mappy Stars — and about the product itself.

How accurate is the sky for the date, time, and place I enter?

Your map is generated from astronomical data for the coordinates and instant you provide. For a wall poster, being within a few kilometers and a few minutes is usually plenty; for the closest match to the real sky, use the exact address or coordinates, correct local time, and the right time zone.

Can I change the design after I’ve started?

Yes. You can adjust text, colors, layout, and decorative elements until you export. Nothing is final until you download your file.

How do I print it — and what can I export?

From the editor you can export a high - resolution PNG or PDF and send it to any print shop or print at home. Matte or satin paper and larger sizes (for example A3 or A2) help tiny stars stay crisp.

Do I need an account to create or download a poster?

You can start and edit as a guest. Signing in is required to export PNG or PDF and to keep drafts and downloads tied to one account when you switch devices.

What if I don’t know the exact time of the moment?

Use your best estimate — many people pick noon local time. The sky shifts slowly over a few hours; for birthdays, proposals, or weddings the difference is often invisible on a poster. If you learn the exact time later, update it and export again.

Is my date, location, and caption kept private?

Your project stays with your account; we don’t publish your personal moments or captions for marketing without your permission. For details on storage and retention, see our Privacy Policy.

Can I order a printed poster from you?

We don’t offer in - house printing. Mappy Stars focuses on a high - quality digital export (PNG or PDF) you can take to any print shop or print at home — so you choose the paper, size, and timing yourself.
