What is a TILES file

TILES files mostly belong to Project Zomboid. TILES files mainly hold game tile definitions used by the Project Zomboid engine. They typically list items and map components by specifying which portions of a graphic or sprite sheet should be used for various in-game elements.
Some files with this extension use an internal PDF format where the content is broken into smaller, tiled sections to represent parts of a 3D model. Such files are used with software like Silhouette Studio to help craft paper models.
Other TILES files include fragments of HTML code and serve as template parts in web applications such as those built with Apache MyFaces Trinidad.
Usage examples include:
  • Game Tiles: These define game item tiles for Project Zomboid. More details at Project Zomboid Wiki.
  • 3D Model Tiles: These are tiled PDF files used in design software like Silhouette Studio. Learn more at Silhouette Software.
  • HTML Template Fragments: These files deliver HTML code for user interfaces as used in Apache MyFaces Trinidad. Visit Apache MyFaces Trinidad for additional info.
  • FilExt.com tip: If you have a TILES file, inspect its content using a text editor, a PDF viewer, or a browser to determine which type it is.

    How to open TILES files

    You need a suitable software like Project Zomboid to open a TILES file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TILES file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TILES file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
