About
Tippecanoe builds vector tilesets from large collections of GeoJSON features. Created by Mapbox, it's the de-facto standard for generating vector tiles. Supports progressive simplification and various tile generation strategies.
Features
- Builds vector tilesets from GeoJSON
- Reads FlatGeobuf and CSV input
- Zoom-dependent feature dropping and simplification
- Outputs MBTiles, PMTiles or tile directories
- Point clustering with attribute aggregation
- Multithreaded parallel processing
- Includes tile-join for merging tilesets
