# Map export for print and games

Exporting map tiles from your MapTiler account is possible in several ways:

-   **For print:** via [MapTiler QGIS plugin](https://www.maptiler.com/qgis-plugin/)
-   **For game engines:** via [World Creator](https://www.maptiler.com/world-creator/)
-   For any purpose: directly from [Tiles](https://cloud.maptiler.com/tiles/) (available upon approval by MapTiler Sales)

Warning

You must [contact our Sales team](https://www.maptiler.com/#contact) if you want to use any exported data commercially.

## Export multiplier

Once exported, we can no longer monitor how often that map is used, so we apply a multiplier for this “hidden usage”.

**How it works:** A map consists of [map tiles](https://docs.maptiler.com/google-maps-coordinates-tile-bounds-projection/). When you’re exporting a map, technically you’re requesting the map tiles needed for your map view via our [Tiles API](https://docs.maptiler.com/cloud/api/tiles/). Each export therefore involves a specific number of API requests. For the purpose of map export tracking, we multiply this number of API requests by a certain value (the **multiplier**). The resultant number is counted towards [your monthly API quota](https://cloud.maptiler.com/account/settings/).

**Example:** If you export 4 vector map tiles and the multiplier is 50, we deduce 200 requests from your monthly quota.

To check the current multiplier, see the [table of all request types](https://docs.maptiler.com/guides/account/sessions-vs-requests/#table).
