About:
Pmtiles is a single-file command-line utility for managing PMTiles archives, a modern, cloud-native tile format optimized for HTTP range requests. It enables efficient creation of tile pyramids from raw data, inspection of archive metadata, and direct uploading to cloud storage. This tool significantly reduces storage and bandwidth costs for web mapping applications by eliminating the need for complex server-side tile processing.
Key Features:
  • Single-file executable for easy deployment
  • Supports creating, viewing, and uploading PMTiles archives
  • Optimized for cloud storage and HTTP range requests
  • Efficiently handles large geospatial datasets
Use Cases:
  • Creating static tile sets for web maps from vector or raster data
  • Uploading and serving map tiles directly from cloud object storage (S3, GCS)
  • Inspecting and validating existing PMTiles archives
Alternatives:
  • Tippecanoe – Tippecanoe creates MBTiles; Pmtiles creates the newer, web-optimized PMTiles format.
