You can upload to to Cesium ion ([https://cesium.com/ion/](https://cesium.com/ion/)) and that will tile it and give you a short code sample for how to load it in Cesium.

You can read about all the supported formats here: [https://cesium.com/docs/tutorials/uploading/](https://cesium.com/docs/tutorials/uploading/)

Let me know if it works for you!

Thanks Omar

Actually, I want to build a stand alone application that should not have any dependency on internet but when I upload geotiff to cesium ion, I think application will be internet dependent.

Further, can you tell me how to convert shp to kml?

There is an on-premise version of Cesium ion, so tiling and serving can all be done offline or on your own server:

I don’t have as much experience with Shapefiles but I know one way to do that is using Safe FME [https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/18696/how-to-convert-shapefile-to-kml.html](https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/18696/how-to-convert-shapefile-to-kml.html)
