Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website?

I don't know whether I'm just missing an obvious solution here, but this driving me nuts.

There's a Wikipedia article I want to create a simple map for. I need a mostly greyscale (like Positron), ~1x1km section of the map on which I want draw some lines and labels in Inkscape. If I could remove all the labels including street names that'd be great, but it's not required.

Essentially, I want the export function of openstreetmap.org, but with less cluttered styles. www.printmaps.net would be exactly what I'm looling for, but their free tier watermarks the image and the license is too restrictive for Wikimedia Commons.

There's a ton of programs available on the wiki, but all of them seem to require at least some coding skills, which I don't have. I've already learned to use inkscape for some other illustrations, I'm not going down that rabbit hole again for Wikipedia.

Is there a simple, preferably web-based, tool that allows me to import or choose a style, use a GUI to select an area and then just save that as an image?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
