    <p>I think you are referring to XYZ tiles which are 256x256 pixels.
      These are designed to be put onto a web server and served through
      WMTS to a client. Is that the kind of application you are using
      them in?</p>

              thousands of small tiles that takes ages to unpack and put

              rasters but not merged files.  Basically it is a mess.  I
