Tilezza serves beautiful vector & raster map tiles for Leaflet and MapLibre — from EU servers, with no visitor tracking of any kind. The GDPR-clean way to put a map on your site, with a free tier that needs no credit card (evaluation & non-commercial use).
Start free — no card, 2 minutes See styles & examplesEverything you need for production maps — nothing that gets you a privacy audit.
Tiles are served first-party from the EU. We never store visitor IP addresses — access logs are anonymous by construction, so embedding our tiles requires no consent banner.
MapLibre GL vector tiles (MVT) and pre-rendered PNG raster tiles for classic Leaflet — same data, same styles, same key.
Voyager, midnight, forest, pastel, a marker-friendly cool gray and more — plus a customization API: override water, land, roads or label colors with a single query parameter.
Cache-hit tiles are served in under a millisecond from disk cache; the whole world down to z8 is pre-rendered. Zoom levels 0–19 supported.
One tile = one request. Track your usage live in the dashboard. No opaque “map load” math.
Fresh monthly builds from the Protomaps pipeline under ODbL. Attribution included in every style out of the box.
Works with the map library you already use.

When your visitors load a map from Google, CARTO or another US-linked provider, their IP address — personal data under GDPR — is sent to a third party, and you need consent for that. Tilezza is different: tiles come from EU infrastructure operated by an EU company, visitor IPs are never written to disk, and the tile requests carry no cookies or identifiers. Your privacy policy stays one paragraph shorter, and your map works even for users who decline every banner.
