Technical note

How H4 and TIF differ in practice

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. TIF 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.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see H4 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

H4 to TIF 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 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.
