FAQ
FEATHER to TIF Conversion
What are FEATHER files?
FEATHER is a fast, portable file format for tables of data, created in 2016 by Wes McKinney and Hadley Wickham so that data frames could be passed quickly between Python and R, two languages widely used in data analysis. Today the main version of Feather is simply the Apache Arrow file format, saved to disk, with optional compression that makes files smaller without slowing down reading. A table is stored column by column, which suits analysis of large data sets. When a column holds geometries such as points, lines, or polygons, the file follows the GeoArrow specification and carries their coordinate system. The Arrow project now recommends the .arrow extension for such files, but .feather is still very common.
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.
