Technical note

ACE2 to TIF: what carries over and what does not

Every cell in an ACE2 file holds a measurement rather than a colour, usually elevation in metres, running from sea level up to whatever the highest point in the tile happens to be. TIF stores brightness, so the conversion stretches that range across a grey or colour scale. What you get is a readable picture of the terrain, and it is the right thing for a relief map or a figure. What you no longer have is the data: sampling a pixel in the TIF returns a shade, not an altitude. ACE2 tiles are laid out in degrees, and a degree of longitude shrinks towards the poles: at 60° north it spans half the ground distance of a degree of latitude. The TIF keeps the tile's square grid, so away from the equator the terrain appears stretched east to west. That is harmless for a texture or a shaded relief, and it matters as soon as the image is used for slopes, distances or a 3D model.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see ACE2 data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to TIF for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to TIF with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Stamp a text watermark, such as a project name or a date, on every image
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

Security was our top concern when evaluating file conversion tools. reaConverter’s offline mode and role-based access controls let us lock it down for sensitive environments. No unexpected network calls or bloat — just clean, fast conversions. Even passed our pen-testing scans without a hitch.

FAQ

ACE2 to TIF Conversion

What are ACE2 files?

ACE2 is a raw binary raster format used to distribute the Altimeter Corrected Elevations (Version 2) global Digital Elevation Model (DEM), developed through a synergistic fusion of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) dataset and multi-mission Satellite Radar Altimetry. Distributed primarily as 15 by 15 degree geographic tiles, a file of this type contains matrix elevations with spatial resolutions available at 3, 9, and 30 arc-seconds, as well as 5 arc-minutes. The format inherently lacks embedded geospatial metadata, meaning its exact georeferencing and spatial bounds are determined entirely by standard filename conventions referencing the southwestern edge of the southwestern-most pixel. Native compliance allows these files to be seamlessly integrated into specialized environmental, climate, and terrain modeling software.

What are TIF files?

TIF (Tagged Image File) is a popular type of raster graphic file, suitable both for handling with various types of image editing software and with scanning or printing equipment. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
