ℹ️ If you came here from the original tutorial you will find the corresponding source code in the v1 branch: https://github.com/jimutt/tiles-to-tiff/tree/v1
The master branch has been updated with a small addition to offer a simple CLI.
tiles-to-tiff
Python script for converting XYZ raster tiles for slippy maps to a georeferenced TIFF image.
Prerequisites:
- Python & available GDAL installation
Usage:
tiles_to_tiff {tile_source} {lng_min} {lat_min} {lng_max} {lat_max} -o {output_directory} -z {zoom level}
Create georeferenced TIFF from online tileserver:
python tiles_to_tiff https://tileserver-url.com/{z}/{x}/{y}.png 21.49147 65.31016 21.5 65.31688 -o output -z 17
Use local tile source:
python tiles_to_tiff file:///Users/Bob/local-directory 21.49147 65.31016 21.5 65.31688 -o output -z 17
TMS Tiles
In the tile source there is the ability to use {-y} in the URL. In TMS, the origin of coordinates is the bottom left corner so the Y coordinate goes up.
CLI arguments:
lng_min- Min longitude of bounding boxlat_min- Min latitude of bounding boxlng_max- Max longitude of bounding boxlat_max- Max latitude of bounding box-z, --zoom- Tilesource zoom level, default 14-o, --output- Output directory, required
