An overview of the Tile Cache toolset

The Tile Cache toolset contains tools to generate, manage, import, and export tile caches. These tools are capable of generating tile caches from a raster dataset, a mosaic dataset, or a map document locally on your desktop without the need for ArcGIS Server. These tile caches can then be shared as tile packages on ArcGIS Online and published as tiled map services.

Note:

The input data source can be a map; however, the document cannot contain a map service or an image service.
