FAQ
HDF4 to EPI Conversion
What are HDF4 files?
HDF4 is the name of the fourth generation of the Hierarchical Data Format, a file format for storing large and varied scientific data, first created at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and later looked after by The HDF Group. All versions from the first to the fourth are essentially the same format, which is why files from the 1990s can still be opened today. It is used to keep measurements from satellites and other instruments, climate and ocean model results, and images that come with the data that describes them. The format was later replaced in new projects by HDF5, which is a completely different design and not compatible with it, but a very large archive of Earth observation data remains in HDF4.
What are EPI files?
EPI (Encapsulated Interchange Script) is an interchange format associated with Adobe Illustrator and represents a vector file used by graphic designers to create and edit drawings. EPI files can contain maps, logos, page layouts or several other types of drawings including text and graphics. Due to their vector format, EPI files can be incompatible with most popular image viewers.
