Planetiler

Planetiler is a command-line tool that generates vector tiles from OpenStreetMap and other geographic data. It runs without an intermediate database, fast and memory-efficient enough to build a map of the world in a few hours on a single machine.

It reads OpenStreetMap PBF, Natural Earth, GeoPackage, GeoJSON, Shapefile, and GeoParquet sources and writes MBTiles or PMTiles archives in Mapbox Vector Tiles or MapLibre Tiles format. Custom base maps and overlays can be defined with a YAML config or a Java profile, and output can be served by tools like TileServer GL or Martin or queried straight from the browser.

It runs with Java 21+ or Docker and can also be used as a Maven or Gradle library. Created by Michael Barry for On The Go Map, it is licensed under Apache 2.0.
