* `MAXZOOM=15` is sufficient for street-level mapping. Choosing less detail with a lower `MAXZOOM` will reduce the size of the final file.

## protomaps/basemaps
66+
67+
The [basemaps](https://github.com/protomaps/basemaps) repository on GitHub contains a java [Planetiler](https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler) profile for generating planet-scale PMTiles from OpenStreetMap. The layers in this tileset are documented at [Basemap Layers](/basemaps/layers) and daily builds can be downloaded for free from [maps.protomaps.com/builds](https://maps.protomaps.com/builds).

Run the basemaps program on your own computer to modify the layers or generate only one specific area.

## Tilemaker
72+
73+
[Tilemaker](https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker) is a program for creating basemap tilesets from OpenStreetMap, though not ones that match the layers in the Protomaps [Basemap Layers](/basemaps/layers). The PMTiles directories that Tilemakers produces are currently not optimized, which may result in large, slower fetches when decoding in a web browser. An alternative is to create MBTiles from Tilemaker and then use `pmtiles convert`.
