FAQ
IPC to TIF Conversion
What are IPC files?
IPC is an extension that some people give to Apache Arrow files, short for the interprocess communication format of Apache Arrow. It is a fast file for tables of data, in which the values are stored column by column, so that programs written in different languages can open the same file quickly and without converting it. When one of the columns holds geometries such as points, lines, or polygons, the file follows the GeoArrow specification, which also records their coordinate system. The Arrow project itself recommends the .arrow extension for such files, and .feather is also common, so .ipc is not an official name and is met mainly in the work of data analysts who named the file after the format.
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. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
