Tilesetter is a well loved desktop app that builds tilesets and maps. Autotile Generator is a free browser tool that turns a couple of textures into a full autotile set with engine files. Here is how they compare.

Where Tilesetter is better
Tilesetter has a real map editor, isometric support and years of polish. If you want to draw your own tiles and build levels in the same app, it is a great buy.
Where Autotile Generator is better
No install and no cost to try. You get a finished 47-tile set with Godot terrain data straight away, even without drawing anything.
