It can be used to study the astrophysics of galaxies, the star formation history of the Universe, and the connection between dark and luminous matter. It can furthermore be used as a tracer of the large-scale structure and thus assist in delensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The major difficulty in its use lies in obtaining accurate and unbiased large-scale CIB images that are cleaned from the contamination by Galactic dust. We used data of neutral atomic hydrogen from the recently-released HI4PI Survey to create template maps of Galactic dust, allowing us to remove this component from the Planck intensity maps from 353 to 857 GHz for approximately $25\%$ of the sky. This allows us to constrain the CIB power spectrum down to $\ell70$. We present these CIB maps and the various processing and validation steps that we have performed to ensure the quality of these maps, as well as a comparison with previous studies. All our data products are made publicly available at http://bit.ly/PlanckCIB, thereby enabling the community to investigate a wide range of questions, related to the Universe's large-scale structure.
