TMX (Tile Map XML) is the file format produced by the Tiled Map Editor.

The TMX (Tile Map XML) map format used by Tiled is a flexible way to describe a tile based map. It can describe maps with any tile size, any amount of layers, any number of tile sets and it allows custom properties to be set on most elements. Beside tile layers, it can also contain groups of objects that can be placed freely.

ScreenShot

The Tiled Map Editor is available at mapeditor.org. It is free software, written in C++, that uses the Qt application framework. The main features include:

  • General purpose tile map editor with XML-based map format
  • Supports orthogonal and isometric maps Custom objects can be placed with pixel precision
  • Full undo/redo and copy/paste support
  • Add custom properties to tiles, layers, objects or the map
  • Automatically reloads tilesets when changed externally
  • Resize or offset tile map later as needed
  • Efficient tile editing tools like stamp and fill brushes
  • Supports input/output plugins to open and save files in custom formats
