In the Mapswipe App, each tile has a size of 256x256 pixels. The translation of pixels into meters is depending on geographical longitude and level of details (see Figure 2).
<p><i>Figure 2: Tile length from pixel to meters: f(latitude, level) = (cos(latitude * pi/180) * 2 * pi * 6378137) / (256 * 2^level) * 256; for level = 18. Values range from 152.8741 m (Equator) to close to 0 m (poles). </i></p>

As a result of the change in sidelength and inner angles, the area of the tiles decreases with distance from equator as well. Have a look at Figure 3.
