Technical note

How DT2 and PNG differ in practice

Every cell in a DT2 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. PNG 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 PNG returns a shade, not an altitude. The digit in DT2 is the DTED level, and the level fixes the sample spacing: 30 arc-seconds for level 0, about 900 m at the equator, 3 arc-seconds for level 1, about 90 m, and 1 arc-second for level 2, about 30 m. Enlarging the PNG afterwards produces a bigger image, not finer terrain, so start from the level the job actually needs.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as PNG opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from DT2 in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to PNG 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.

I love that reaConverter can convert PDF pages to individual PNGs. I used it to extract images from a scanned document – each page became a high-res PNG with zero loss. It's like magic, but it actually works every time.

For my game development sprites, I need PNGs with perfect compression. reaConverter lets me fine-tune the color palette and compression level. It even preserves metadata. This is the only converter I trust for my asset pipeline.

I had a pile of JPG screenshots that I needed to convert to PNG for a presentation. reaConverter kept every pixel intact. The interface is so straightforward – drag, drop, choose format, and go. No bloat, no ads. Just pure conversion power.

I design stickers but could never cleanly resize my PNG logos without pixelation. reaConverter’s PNG-to-SVG tool keeps everything sharp—even when scaling up. My Etsy shop looks way more professional now!

I design logos and need transparent PNGs for clients. reaConverter converts AI and EPS files to PNG with crisp edges and full alpha channel support. The batch processing saves me hours when I have to export dozens of variants. Absolutely essential for any graphic designer.

FAQ

DT2 to PNG Conversion

What are DT2 files?

DT2 is the file extension for Level 2 of Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), the high-resolution tier of the elevation series standardized in MIL-PRF-89020 by the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). A file of this type covers a one-degree by one-degree cell with a post spacing of 1 arc-second, about 30 meters at the equator, which makes it suitable for detailed terrain work such as viewshed modeling, slope analysis, route planning, and flood simulation. It is the most detailed of the three standard levels, following the .dt0 and .dt1 products. The content is organized as header records with identification and accuracy information, followed by a regular grid of elevation values for the cell. Because of its fine sampling, Level 2 files are considerably larger than those of the lower levels.

What are PNG files?

The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
