About this dataset

The complete OpenStreetMap planet file in PBF format, updated weekly, containing all mapped features worldwide in a single archive.

The OSM Planet File is the full OpenStreetMap database export in PBF (Protocol Buffer Binary Format), containing every node, way, and relation in OSM. The file is updated weekly and currently exceeds 70 GB, making it the definitive source for bulk OSM data. It is intended for server-side processing, custom tile generation, and large-scale geospatial analysis rather than direct desktop GIS use.

How to download

  1. 1 Open planet.openstreetmap.org and navigate to the PBF directory.
  2. 2 Download the latest planet-latest.osm.pbf file (70+ GB).
  3. 3 Use osmium-tool, ogr2ogr, or imposm to filter and process the planet file into manageable regional or thematic extracts.
  4. 4 Be prepared with sufficient disk space and processing resources; the planet file requires significant computational capacity to handle.

FAQ

Is the OSM planet file too large for desktop use?

Yes, the planet file is very large (70+ GB in PBF, over 1 TB in OSM XML) and is not designed for direct use in desktop GIS. Use Geofabrik or BBBike extracts for desktop-sized regional subsets instead.

How often is the planet file updated?

A new planet file is published weekly, typically on Wednesday. Incremental change files (minutely, hourly, daily) are also available for keeping local databases up to date.
