Technical note

Before you convert MBTILES to ICO

MBTILES is a tile set: the same map cut into small squares, usually 256 or 512 pixels across, at a range of zoom levels, each level holding four times as many tiles as the one above it. ICO holds one flat picture, so the zoom level is the decisive choice. A low level gives a compact overview of the whole area, while the deepest levels of a city or a country run to millions of tiles and an image far larger than any viewer will open. MBTILES carries georeferencing: a coordinate reference system, and the real-world position and ground size of every pixel. ICO has nowhere to record any of that. The picture transfers intact, the location does not, so the output cannot be dropped onto a map afterwards without being placed by hand. Keep the MBTILES original if the data still has to go back into a GIS.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see MBTILES data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to ICO for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to ICO with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

MBTILES to ICO Conversion

What are MBTILES files?

MBTILES is a single file that holds a ready-made map cut into small square tiles at many zoom levels. A web or mobile map does not draw the whole world at once but loads only the tiles that are visible, and an MBTiles file keeps all of them together, so a whole map can be copied to a phone, a tablet, or a server and used without an internet connection. The tiles can be pictures, such as PNG, JPEG, or WebP images, or compact vector tiles, which stay sharp at every scale. The format was created by Mapbox and has become a common way of storing and distributing map tiles, including the OpenStreetMap-based map data that is sold or published as ready-made packages.

What are ICO files?

ICO files contain the images used as icons for files, folders or programs on the Microsoft Windows platform. The icons appear on the desktop, in Windows Explorer or in the Start Menu and help identify each item. ICO images are generally of a small size, are scalable, and they can also serve as website logos or symbols that appear in the web browser next to the URL. The equivalent of ICO files on Mac computers is called ICNS.
