Working in a print studio means constantly juggling obscure file formats. I used to waste hours Googling converters or installing random software — until reaConverter became my Swiss Army knife. Install it once, and you're set forever. No internet? No problem!

FAQ

ASC to CAL Conversion

What are ASC files?

The ASC (Esri ASCII Grid) format stores raster geospatial data as plain text. Developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), it describes a rectangular grid of cells using a short header — number of columns and rows, coordinates of the lower-left corner, cell size and a no-data value — followed by the cell values themselves, written row by row as ordinary numbers. Because the entire grid is human-readable text, ASC is widely used for exchanging elevation models, slope maps and other continuous surfaces between GIS packages that would otherwise share no common binary format.

What are CAL files?

A CAL image file represents a monochrome bitmap image that uses the CALS raster image standard for storing graphics data. This standard was created in the 1980s by the US Department of Defence as a compressed interchangeable image format. CAL and CALS are extensions used for similar purposes.
