FAQ
OSM to QOI Conversion
What are OSM files?
OSM is an XML file with map data from OpenStreetMap, the free map of the world that is created and edited by volunteers. Everything on this map, from roads and rivers to buildings, shops, and benches, is stored in the file as a set of points, chains of points, and groups of objects, each with descriptive labels such as the name of a street, the type of road, or the opening hours of a cafe. People download such files for a chosen area to edit the map, to study it, to build routing and navigation tools, or to make their own maps. The data are open and are released under the Open Database License, which requires attribution to OpenStreetMap and its contributors.
What are QOI files?
QOIQOI (Quite OK Image) is a fast, lossless image format designed as a simpler alternative to PNG. It offers similar compression quality but with much faster encoding/decoding speeds, making it ideal for applications where performance matters.
