Core Products and Services:
MapTiler isn't just one tool; it’s an ecosystem of products designed for different stages of the mapping process:
MapTiler Cloud: A hosting platform that provides ready-to-use map styles (Streets, Satellite, Outdoor) via APIs and SDKs.
MapTiler Engine: A desktop application that converts your own data - such as drone imagery, scanned paper maps, or large TIFF files—into "map tiles" that can be easily loaded on the web.
MapTiler On-Prem: self-hosting solution that allows you to run maps on your own hardware. This is essential for secure environments or apps that need to work entirely offline.
MapTiler SDK: A JavaScript library (based on MapLibre) that developers use to add interactive features, markers, and 3D terrain to their web applications.
Why People Use It:
Privacy & Security: Unlike other mapping providers, MapTiler does not collect any hidden information about people who interact with the maps. No Telemetry, saved activity, or any other data, other than voluntarily sharing their location. In addition, MapTiler supports fully on-premises hosting. This means your data (and your users' location data) never has to leave your own servers.
Customization: You can edit every detail of the map’s appearance - changing colors, hiding labels, or adding your own branding - using the Map Designer tool.
Scalable Financial Predictability: MapTiler offers a sustainable pricing structure that eliminates the 'success tax' common in pay-per-load models, making it the preferred choice for high-traffic applications that require cost certainty.
Open Source Roots: MapTiler is a major contributor to the OpenMapTiles project, which defines how map data is structured for modern vector styling.They also helped found and continue to contribute to MapLibre, and other components of the modern OpenSource Geospatial stack.
