MapTiler Cloud
Unterägeri, Switzerland
What it is
MapTiler Cloud is a maps API for developers building web and mobile applications. Users can change map language, colors, and fonts to create branded designs, then publish those maps online. The service accepts raster and vector files such as GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, and Shapefile for automatic processing and online publishing. Its editor lets users draw points, lines, polygons, and annotations, with results available through an API. Location services provide search and geocoding between places or addresses and coordinates. The platform offers APIs for maps, tiles, static maps, geocoding, elevation, weather, IP geolocation, coordinates, and data. It supports raster tiles with Leaflet, OpenLayers, or XYZ, vector tiles with MapTiler SDK, and WMTS for QGIS or ArcGIS. Swift and Kotlin SDKs are available for native iOS and Android apps. A Free plan is for testing, personal, or non-commercial use and includes 5 GB storage, 5,000 sessions per month, and 100,000 API requests per month. Paid plans start at $30/mo. If a Free plan quota is reached, service pauses until the next month unless the account is upgraded.
