FAQ: MBTiles for Mandoul

Why MBTiles over individual tiles?

One file instead of thousands -- easier to copy, serve, and use offline.

Are these raster or vector tiles?

Raster: PNG images drawn in the chosen style. They carry no feature attributes and cannot be restyled on your side -- MBTiles Vector is the format for that.

Can I open in QGIS?

Yes, QGIS opens this file as a raster tile source -- a basemap under your own layers.

How is this different from PMTiles?

MBTiles is a SQLite file, better for local and offline use. PMTiles is read over HTTP range requests, better for the cloud, and its tiles are vector.

Which tiles are inside — raster or vector?

Raster: 256x256 PNG images rendered on the server in the chosen style. Vector tiles, which are styled on the client, are delivered by our MVT and PMTiles formats.
