  • Organized as z/x/y.png structure
  • Perfect for CDN caching
  • Instant loading at any zoom

How XYZ Tiles Work:
The raster is pre-processed into a pyramid of tiles at different zoom levels. Each tile is a small 256x256 image. The browser only loads tiles visible in the current viewport, making it extremely efficient.

Tile URL Pattern

https://rasterlayer.com/xyz_tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

Where {z} is zoom level, {x} is column, and {y} is row.

Use Cases

Best for:
• Web mapping applications
• CDN delivery
• High-traffic sites
• Mobile apps
• Offline maps (with MBTiles)

Generation

These tiles were generated using gdal2tiles.py: 

gdal2tiles.py -z 7-14 \
