FAQ
MVT to TIF Conversion
What are MVT files?
MVT (Mapbox Vector Tile) is a compact binary file that contains one square piece of a map, a tile, as vector data instead of a picture. A web map is built from many such tiles, and each of them holds the roads, rivers, buildings, borders, and labels that fall into its square, as points, lines, and polygons with a few attributes such as a name or a road class. Because the data are vectors, the map stays sharp at any zoom level, can be restyled or rotated in the browser, and downloads quickly. The format was created by Mapbox and has become a standard way to serve maps on the web, and the specification recommends the .mvt extension, although such tiles are often saved as .pbf.
What are TIF files?
TIF (Tagged Image File) is a popular type of raster graphic file, suitable both for handling with various types of image editing software and with scanning or printing equipment. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
