I'm trying to generate Raster Tiles for my Nasa's Black Marble which has the dimension of 86,400 x 43,200 that I combined out of all the 8 images.

I've been known about gdal2tiles. So basically, I directly tried to pass it in gdal2tiles as raster which it did generate tiles but it was not seemless as OSM which use epsg:3857 and had gaps from three side.

Earlier I didn't assigned any projection to it. I tried doing the same with Nasa's low ress GeoTiFF and passed it in gdal2tiles with Mercator profile and it worked seamlessly. Then I check its extent and properties which is highlighted below and ranges perfectly.

As compared to mine when I assigned the projection to epsg:4326 the extend were displayed in pixels instead of latitude and longitude

Even then I tried to match it with what Nasa's came with but weirdly it generates equirectangle image of only blank black color.

I also tried to pass it in gdal2tiles after assigning epsg:4326 which extent displayed in pixel and got this error - Too many points (10201 out of 10201) failed to transform, unable to compute output bounds. But then I tried gdal_translate followed with again gdal2tiles and got my tiles placed near Africa. gdal_warp gave an error of Lat and Long not valid when trying it morph it in epsg:3857.

What I'm assuming is my main issue is with defining the extent and origin. Any idea on how to fix this issue without changing anything in the map? I've been scratching my head from last two days.

Oh my bad, I had to change the extent to -180 to 180, -90 to 90 degree while exporting the image or I should have just used the world file

The original extent was defined in pixel values rather than actual coordinates.
