Technical note

DIM to JP2: what carries over and what does not

DIM carries georeferencing: a coordinate reference system, and the real-world position and ground size of every pixel. JP2 has nowhere to record any of that. The picture transfers intact, the location does not, so the output cannot be dropped onto a map afterwards without being placed by hand. Keep the DIM original if the data still has to go back into a GIS. DIM stores pixels without compression loss and JP2 does not, so this is a one-way step. Choose a high quality setting, and avoid converting the same file back and forth, because each pass compounds the artefacts.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as JP2 opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from DIM in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to JP2 with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • 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.

FAQ

DIM to JP2 Conversion

What are DIM files?

DIM (Digital Image MAP) is a metadata-driven format for satellite imagery, developed by the French space agency CNES together with SPOT Image to describe products from the SPOT and Pléiades missions. A dataset consists of an XML file with the .dim extension and one or more image files stored beside it, usually as GeoTIFF or JPEG 2000 rasters, while earlier versions used BIL and TIFF files. The XML document describes the product identification, acquisition date and time, sensor and satellite parameters, geometric processing level, coordinate reference system, band names and order, radiometric calibration values, sun and viewing angles, and the image dimensions. Related files may hold preview images, quality masks, and rational polynomial coefficients for sensor model correction. The format is applied to panchromatic, multispectral, and pan-sharpened scenes at several processing levels, from primary to orthorectified products, and the .dim file acts as the entry point to the whole dataset.

What are JP2 files?

JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
