  • simple data management - fast upload of one file per map instead of millions of tiles - no headaches with updates
  • base maps included - display your data on top of affordable beautiful street and satellite maps
  • tools for map styling - easy to use tools for adjusting maps and combining with prepared global datasets (hillshading, contour lines, …)
  • one place and one account - single login to one environment for styling and hosting your own maps, with access management

Data uploaded to MapTiler Cloud can be viewed standalone or as part of your maps using JavaScript libraries, opened in desktop GIS as WMTS or extracted with Static Maps API.

Deactivate your Desktop license online

MapTiler Cloud offers simple Desktop key administration with an option to deactivate your key. After you sign in, go to Account → Desktop where you can add, see already connected and manage your MapTiler Desktop keys.

MapTiler Desktop license key can be deactivated here in case you lost access to your computer due to an unexpected incident like a hardware failure.
