Technical note

What changes when you convert H4 to PNG

H4 is a container for scientific arrays, not a picture. One file usually holds several variables, such as temperature, pressure or wind, often across a series of time steps and a stack of vertical levels, each stored as floating-point values in its own units. PNG holds one flat image, so the conversion has to reduce all of that to a single slice and map its values onto shades. Treat the result as a snapshot for a report or a slide: the data itself stays in the H4. H4 carries georeferencing: a coordinate reference system, and the real-world position and ground size of every pixel. PNG has nowhere to record any of that. The picture transfers intact, the location does not, so the output cannot be dropped onto a map afterwards without being placed by hand. Keep the H4 original if the data still has to go back into a GIS.

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 H4 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.

FAQ

H4 to PNG Conversion

What are H4 files?

H4 is a file extension used for HDF4 (Hierarchical Data Format, Release 4), a general-purpose format for scientific data created at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in the United States and now maintained by The HDF Group. A file works as a container in which many kinds of data are stored together with descriptions of what they are: large arrays of measurements, images with color palettes, tables, and notes. Because it is independent of the computer that created it, it became a favorite of researchers. In 1993, NASA chose HDF4 as the format for data from its Earth Observing System, and satellite products such as those from the MODIS instrument were distributed in it for many years. The same files often use the .hdf extension.

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.
