FAQ
NSF to PNG Conversion
What are NSF files?
NSF is an extension used for files of the NATO Secondary Imagery Format (NSIF), which is the alliance's version of the American National Imagery Transmission Format. NATO armed forces and their partners need to exchange images from satellites, aircraft, and reconnaissance systems in a way that every member's equipment can read, and NSIF was created for this purpose, as the standard STANAG 4545. A file of this type is a package that holds one or several images together with graphics, text, and the information that describes them, for instance the sensor, the time, and the security classification. In practice, NSIF version 1.0 is almost identical to NITF 2.1, so the two formats are largely interchangeable, and many programs read both.
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.
