Build vector tiles from OpenStreetMap with a single command — no database needed.

tilemaker is a C++ tool that converts OpenStreetMap data directly into MBTiles or PMTiles vector tiles in one pass, without a database. Layer definitions are written in Lua/JSON, making it easy to customize the output schema. Ideal for city-to-country scale tile generation on modest hardware.
