SimpliTiles QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — SimpliTiles supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Fast, parallel XYZ tile generator that bypasses the QGIS rendering pipeline for reliable tile creation from orthomosaics.
About
Replaces the built-in "Generate XYZ Tiles (Directory)" with a direct GDAL-based pipeline. Supports large orthomosaic GeoTIFFs and JPEGs from Pix4D and similar tools. Automatically selects the optimal parallel strategy based on source format: per-thread GDAL handles for tiled GeoTIFF, or single reader + parallel PNG writes for striped/JPEG. Uses gdal.Warp for correct UTM-to-Web-Mercator tile reprojection. Generates a Leaflet HTML preview for quick QA.
