FAQ
GTI to PGM Conversion
What are GTI files?
GTI (Raster Tile Index) is a small file that turns a large collection of map or image tiles into one seamless virtual picture. Instead of storing any pixels, it points to the individual raster files, which may be aerial photographs, satellite scenes, or terrain tiles, and describes where each of them lies on the map. A program that opens the GTI file sees one continuous image and loads only the tiles needed for the visible area, which makes it practical to work with archives of thousands of files without merging them first. The format appeared in 2024 and is stored as a short XML file with the .gti extension, or as a tile index in a GeoPackage or FlatGeobuf file.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
