Hello QGIS users,

I’m writing to introduce Qtiler, a new open-source tool from MundoGIS for
generating, inspecting, and publishing WMTS/XYZ tile caches from QGIS
projects.

Short summary

   - Project: Qtiler (MundoGIS) — https://github.com/MundoGIS/Qtiler
   - Purpose: convert QGIS projects into tile caches (WMTS/XYZ), create
   Capabilities, and publish results so they can be added back into QGIS or
   used in web mapping clients.

Why you might try it

   - Speed up visualization by serving pre-generated tiles rather than
   rendering on the fly.
   - Share styled maps from QGIS as WMTS/XYZ across teams and web apps.
   - Inspect caches and capabilities via the included web UI.

Basic workflow

   1. Prepare a QGIS project (.qgs or .qgz) with the layers/styles you want.
   2. Use Qtiler (see README) to generate the cache and Capabilities.
   3. Add the created WMTS/XYZ endpoint in QGIS (Layer → Add Layer → Add
   WMS/WMTS Layer or Add XYZ Tiles).

Repository:

   - Main repo: https://github.com/MundoGIS/Qtiler

Request for feedback We would greatly appreciate:

   - Testing with different CRSs, large vector datasets, and various
   styling scenarios.
   - Reports of any issues or missing documentation in the repo issues.
   - Suggestions on whether a Processing script or full plugin would be
   more useful for the community.

If there’s interest, we can submit a tutorial to the QGIS documentation or
prepare a Processing script / minimal plugin for easier installation. We’re
also available to demo the workflow on a short presentation or meeting.

Thanks for your time — looking forward to feedback.
