About MBTiles
Map of Ukraine in MBTiles — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
MBTiles is a format for storing map tiles in a single SQLite file. Compact, fast, and convenient for offline maps and mobile applications. Here I hand over rendered raster tiles: the map is already drawn in the chosen style and opens without a server. If you need to restyle it yourself, take MBTiles Vector — the same container with vector tiles.
Which layers are in the file
This file for the selected area contains:
- Water
Geometry by layer
- Water — drawn as filled pixels
What the file carries
The MBTiles file for Ukraine: layers are flattened into one picture: objects become pixels and cannot be selected separately, OpenStreetMap tags are not kept — geometry and styling remain.
File size
The expected size of the MBTiles file for Ukraine is about 107.7 MB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.
Coordinate systems
WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), selectable in the wizard
Units
Meters (projected in the chosen coordinate system)

How to use MBTiles for Ukraine
- QGIS (free) — drag the .mbtiles into the program window or add it through the Browser panel: the layer will sit as a backdrop under your data.
- TileServer GL or mbview — run a local tile server over the file and get an address of the form /{z}/{x}/{y}.png for Leaflet, MapLibre and OpenLayers.
- mb-util — unpack the container into a plain folder tree z/x/y.png if your hosting can only serve static files: mb-util map.mbtiles tiles/.
Programs that open MBTiles
FAQ: MBTiles for Ukraine
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.
