FAQ
PMTILES to PRC 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 PRC files?
PRC is a raster image format from PictureGear Pocket, a picture album application from Sony. PRC is not very popular, so for easier transferring and accessibility, we recommend converting them to more widely used formats such as JPEG.
