FAQ
PMTILES to JP2 Conversion
What are PMTILES files?
PMTILES is a single file that holds a whole web map, cut into thousands or millions of small tiles at every zoom level. Normally a map like this is stored as a huge folder tree with one file per tile, which is slow to upload and needs a server to hand out the right pieces. PMTiles packs all of them into one file with a built-in index, so it can simply be put on cheap file storage in the cloud, and a map in a browser downloads only the tiles it needs to show the current view. The format was created by Protomaps, and it can hold vector tiles, which stay sharp at any zoom, as well as pictures such as aerial or satellite imagery.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
