TileStyler — Open tile style compiler

Choose a direction → describe the intent → compile

An easier way to style your map tiles.

Design your vector map tilesets using natural language. Choose your preferred tile service and LLM. Start with one of our premade styles and direct it from there, or create your own style from scratch using natural language and/or images. TileStyler outputs designed tile JSON and a transferable, open Tile Design Interface (TDI) file.

Introducing the Tile Design Interface (TDI)

TileStyler uses the open, provider-neutral TDI to create design schemas that can be transferred, ported, and put to use by humans and LLMs alike.

Add your direction

Keep this short when starting from a reviewed style; provide more detail when creating from scratch.
