MBTiles Vector (MVT tiles in SQLite)
Open BetaMBTiles Vector is the same single SQLite file, but it holds vector tiles instead of images: feature geometry plus attributes. Every layer of your order stays a separate named layer -- roads, buildings, water -- so you set the styling on your side and change it as often as you like without ordering a new export. This is today's norm for web and offline maps: MapLibre, Maputnik, TileServer-GL and QGIS all read the file. I build the pyramid over the chosen area, record the layer list and their fields in the metadata, and store the tiles compressed, so the file stays small.

O formacie MBTiles Vector
MBTiles Vector is the same single SQLite file as a regular MBTiles, but the tile table holds vector tiles instead of images: feature geometry together with attributes, compressed and split across zoom levels. Besides the name, bounds and zoom range, the metadata table records the layer list and their fields — that is how a reader learns what exactly can be styled in the file.
There is exactly one difference from the raster container, and it is decisive: the map inside is not drawn. Colours, line widths, which labels to show and from which zoom — all of that is set on your side and changed as often as you like, without ordering a new export. Every ordered layer stays a separate named layer, so features stay clickable and carry their properties.
I build the pyramid over the chosen area and record the range that was actually built. If you did not pick the depth yourself, I match it to the area and data density and say so in the response; a depth you picked is never touched — if it is beyond reach for that area I refuse honestly instead of handing over a truncated file. Vector tiles are built from the features themselves, so very large and very dense areas are closed for them: regular MBTiles, PNG or GeoJSON serve those.

Kto korzysta z map MBTiles Vector
Jak wyeksportować MBTiles Vector
Jak otworzyć po eksporcie
- MapLibre GL or Mapbox GL JS — run a tile server over the file and add it as a vector source: the map appears in the browser and you describe the style yourself.
- Maputnik (free, runs in the browser) — build the style by hand: the editor reads the layer list from the file and offers it as a list.
- TileServer GL — serve the container as a ready service at an address like /{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf, together with generated TileJSON.
- QGIS (free) — add the file as a vector tile source and inspect features and their attributes in a table.
- DB Browser for SQLite — look inside: how many tiles were written and what is in metadata, including the layer list.
