Convert GRD to PSD

Got a folder full of GRD files? reaConverter batch converts them to PSD in minutes, not hours. Local processing means instant results, even with thousands of files. Works without QGIS or ArcGIS, so GIS data can be converted on any office PC.

Technical note

Before you convert GRD to PSD

Every cell in a GRD 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. PSD 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 PSD returns a shade, not an altitude. Missing cells in an elevation grid, such as water, radar shadow or the edge of a survey, are not empty: they hold a sentinel value, -32768 in SRTM, -32767 in DTED and very often -9999 in ESRI grids. Counted as a real height, that value stretches the scale so far that the actual terrain collapses into a few near-identical shades. When a PSD output looks flat and washed out, a void treated as data is the usual cause.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

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

  • Render every file in a folder to PSD 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.

I had a huge PSD archive from an old project that I needed to convert to TIFF for printing. reaConverter preserved every layer and adjustment – the output was identical to the original. I've tried other converters, but they always flatten or lose quality. This one is the real deal.

Our marketing team uses PSD templates for social media graphics. reaConverter lets us batch‑convert them to JPEG for social scheduling. The output is crisp, and we can resize on the fly. It's cut our asset preparation time by half.

Clients kept asking to ‘just peek’ at my layered PSDs. Now I convert them to locked PDFs with reaConverter before sending. No more ‘accidental’ edits from ‘helpful’ clients!

ReaConverter's batch conversion of PSD to WebP is a lifesaver for my e‑commerce site. I take product mockups in PSD and convert them to lightweight WebP images for faster loading. The quality is amazing, and the compression is aggressive but clean. Highly recommended for online stores.
