Tiling
Tile servers, tile generators, and schemas that power MapLibre maps. Create, serve, and optimize vector and raster tiles at any scale.
Open-source tiling tools
Generate tiles from your data and serve them to MapLibre.

tippecanoe
Build vector tilesets from GeoJSON
Command-line tool for building vector tilesets from large collections of GeoJSON features. Automatically chooses detail levels and simplification for each zoom.
Planetiler
Fast planet-scale vector tile generation
Flexible Java tool for building planet-scale vector tilesets. Generates a full planet MBTiles file in under an hour on a single machine.
OpenMapTiles
Open-source map tiles schema and tools
Open-source vector tile schema and toolchain for generating map tiles from OpenStreetMap data. The de facto standard schema used by many MapLibre deployments.

chiitiler
Lightweight serverless tile server
A lightweight alternative to TileServer GL for serverless raster tile rendering using MapLibre GL JS.
Versatiles
Free and open tile server stack
A completely free and open-source tile server stack with implementations in Node.js and Rust, serving vector tiles per the Shortbread specification.
MapLibre TilesOfficial
Next-generation vector tile format
A next-generation vector tile format designed to replace MVT. Offers up to 6x better compression, faster decoding, and support for 3D coordinates and complex data types.
PMTiles
Single-file tile archive protocol
Cloud-optimized single-file archive format for tilesets. The JavaScript library adds a custom protocol to MapLibre GL JS for direct PMTiles consumption.

BBOX Server
Composable OGC API services, written in Rust
A Rust server for OGC API Features, Maps, Tiles, and Processes whose tile server serves vector tiles from PostGIS and MBTiles and raster tiles from QGIS Server or MapServer, with bundled MapLibre GL JS map viewers.
mapgl-tile-renderer
Render styled raster tiles for offline maps
A headless Node.js renderer that uses MapLibre Native to turn a style and tile sources into styled raster tiles in MBTiles or Styled Map Package format, built for offline background maps in field data collection apps.
MVT Server
Publish PostGIS data as vector tiles, styles, and maps
A Rust server that publishes PostGIS tables as vector tile layers together with MapLibre styles, composed maps, legends, glyphs, and sprites, all managed from a web admin interface with MapLibre GL JS map views.
QGIS2VectorTiles
Export QGIS projects as MapLibre vector tile packages
A QGIS plugin that packs a styled QGIS project into vector tiles with a matching MapLibre style, sprites, glyphs, and a ready-to-use MapLibre GL JS web viewer, without a server.
Vector Tile Lab
Local sandbox for tuning vector tiles
A local development tool, run with Docker, that converts GeoJSON or Shapefile data into vector tiles with Tippecanoe and previews the result on an interactive MapLibre GL JS map, for quickly tuning tile settings.
Tile hosting
Upload your own geodata, generate tilesets, and serve tiles at scale without running infrastructure.
