This tool helps you port style files for Mapbox-GL-JS between three major OpenStreetMap vector tile providers: Mapbox, MapZen and OpenMapTiles. It's at an early proof-of-concept stage.

For instance, here's OpenMapTiles.org's "OsmBright" style (on the left), as converted for Mapbox (centre), and Mapzen (right).

Remember that not all style files are open sourced. Please do not use this tool to rip off Mapbox's proprietary styles – or anyone else's for that matter..

1. Put a style file in in/mystyle.json
2. Modify index.js to point to it :)
3. Run index.js
4. Output goes into out/mystyle-mapbox.json and out/mystyle-mapzen.json
5. Serve up the directory, say python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
6. Go to localhost:8000/#mystyle
