Technical note

What changes when you convert DT2 to TIF

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. 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. 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 TIF 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

Not everyone who needs to see DT2 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.

FAQ

DT2 to TIF 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 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.
