Dataset upload - formats and limits
Our Cloud platform supports various geographical data formats, ensuring compatibility with popular mapping tools and libraries. Easily upload files directly through the Upload form in the Admin interface. Currently, we are supporting:
- Raster files - georeferenced files like drone imagery, old maps, or charts, rasters are automatically optimized for use on the website - tiled into tile packages
- Vector files - geographical vector formats from surveys, GPS logs, and government data. Files are imported as vector features editable in the Vector data editor
- Tilesets (containers of tiles) - read-only; we recommend using clean tilesets produced by MapTiler Engine
