streamlit-folium
Render Folium objects in Streamlit
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Active maintenance, low install friction, no vulnerabilities, and a clear use case for geospatial Streamlit apps. The two-function API (interactive st_folium() plus static folium_static()) covers both simple and complex map scenarios. Install if you're building a Streamlit dashboard that needs interactive maps.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.11 and a running Streamlit application context.
- Low friction install with a pure-Python wheel.

What it is and what it does
streamlit-folium bridges Streamlit and Folium, two popular Python libraries for web apps and interactive maps. It provides two functions: st_folium() for bi-directional interaction (send a map to the app, receive back user selections like bounding boxes and clicked items), and folium_static() for static rendering of Folium objects. The package wraps Folium's HTML representation and integrates it into Streamlit's component system.
You use it when you want to add interactive geographic visualizations to a Streamlit dashboard. It depends on streamlit, folium, jinja2, and branca—all stable, widely-used packages. The wheel installs cleanly and requires Python >= 3.11. No known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Display interactive maps in Streamlit dashboards with click detection and bounding box queries.
- Build geospatial data exploration tools that respond to user map interactions in real time.
- Embed Folium-styled maps (markers, popups, layers) directly into Streamlit web apps without custom JavaScript.
- Capture map state (zoom, pan, selected bounds) to filter or update other dashboard elements.
