File Tiler

File Tiler is a simple tool to create vector tiles from shapefiles. A user simply drops the shapefile, chooses the zoom levels and clicks Submit. Creating the tiles can take from several minutes up to an hour for large files. When the tiles are ready, though, they are hosted by Clockwork Micro and can be used in any web map.
