For Leaflet developers
Custom Leaflet markers, ready to paste.
Design any marker shape, pick from 40,000+ icons, and copy ready-to-use L.icon or L.divIcon snippets — iconAnchor pre-calculated for every shape. No SVG hand-editing.
How to add custom markers to Leaflet
Leaflet's marker API is small but verbose: every custom marker needs an L.icon definition with iconUrl, iconSize, and iconAnchor — and getting the anchor right for non-rectangular shapes (pins, flags, speech bubbles) is fiddly math you shouldn't have to do.
MapMarker Studio handles the math. Design your marker visually — pick a shape, color, and icon — and copy a ready-to-paste L.icon or L.divIcon snippet. iconAnchor is pre-calculated for every shape we ship, so a teardrop pin's tip lands on the lat/lng, not its center.
Everything runs in your browser. No upload, no signup, no API keys. The marker SVG you copy is yours forever — it doesn't break if our site goes down.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set iconAnchor in Leaflet?
iconAnchor is the [x, y] pixel position on your icon that aligns with the map coordinate. For a teardrop pin, that's the bottom tip — typically [size/2, size]. MapMarker Studio's Leaflet snippet ships with the right anchor pre-calculated for every shape (pin tip, flag pole bottom, speech-bubble tail, etc.), so you don't have to eyeball it.
Should I use L.icon or L.divIcon?
L.icon takes a URL (a base64 data URI works) and is the simplest path. L.divIcon takes inline HTML — better when you want CSS classes, hover effects, or animations on the marker. MapMarker Studio generates both forms; pick whichever matches your workflow.
Can I use SVG markers in Leaflet?
Yes. Leaflet renders any image format L.icon's iconUrl accepts, including SVG data URIs, and they stay crisp at any zoom level. MapMarker Studio outputs SVG by default and bundles it inline as a data URI in the L.icon snippet — no file hosting needed.
How do I add a Leaflet marker without CDN dependencies?
Use L.divIcon with the html option set to your inline SVG. The marker travels with your code, so there's no external request and no broken link if a CDN goes down. MapMarker Studio's L.divIcon snippet does exactly this — embed the SVG inline.
Why does my custom Leaflet marker look offset on the map?
Almost always an iconAnchor mismatch. The anchor must match where you visually want the marker to "sit" on the lat/lng — the tip for a pin, the center for a circle. MapMarker Studio's snippets bake the right anchor in for the shape you choose, so out-of-the-box positioning is correct.
