PMTiles is a single-file archive format for pyramids of tiled data. A PMTiles archive can be hosted on a storage platform like S3, and enables low-cost, zero-maintenance map applications. See Storage Providers for how to host PMTiles on your own service.

Similar to MBTiles, but tmcw says "Brandon Liu’s brilliant PMTiles format is what MBTiles should have been"


PMTiles viewer is a useful companion tool, which will display a pmtiles file on a world map.
