Developer maps, geocoding, and self-hosting in one platform.

MapTiler is a mapping platform for adding customizable maps, location search, and geospatial data layers to web and mobile applications. It combines hosted basemaps, SDKs, data upload and processing tools, and on-premise options for teams that need more control over map delivery.

Why it stands out

  • Covers more of the mapping stack than a simple tile provider: design, hosting, SDKs, APIs, data processing, and self-hosting
  • Supports custom geodata uploads in common GIS formats such as TIFF, GeoJSON, KML, and GPX
  • Includes both cloud delivery and offline/on-premise deployment paths for security-sensitive projects
  • Offers specialized map catalogs beyond streets, including satellite, terrain, outdoor, weather, and visualization styles

Good to know

  • Primarily aimed at developers and GIS-capable teams, not casual users looking for a consumer map app
  • Free account creation does not imply unrestricted production use; plan limits, licensing, and attribution requirements should be checked before launch
  • Advanced self-hosted or offline deployments require using separate on-prem products rather than only the hosted map catalog

Under the radar: If map attribution is a product-design concern, check MapTiler’s “Attribution free map” resource in the footer before choosing a deployment approach.
