Convert RST to EMF

Online GIS converters cap file size and need an upload. reaConverter converts RST to EMF locally, whatever the size of the dataset.

RST to EMF conversion is faster with the right tool. reaConverter handles everything from a few files to thousands in one batch. Processes files consistently every time, with full control over quality and output settings. Works without QGIS or ArcGIS, so GIS data can be converted on any office PC.

Technical note

What changes when you convert RST to EMF

RST is made of pixels and EMF stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into paths. Once traced, the artwork scales to any size without softening, which is the point of the exercise. It is a reconstruction rather than the original drawing: curves are fitted to the pixel edges, so the cleaner and sharper the source, the closer the paths follow what the designer intended. A line in an RST image is several pixels wide, so tracing it can mean different things and the mode is yours to choose. Centreline returns a single line running down the middle of each stroke, which is what a scanned drawing needs: one entity per line, snappable and dimensionable, rather than a long thin rectangle around it. Outline follows both edges and returns closed shapes, which suits clipart, logos and anything that will be filled or cut. A precision setting controls how closely the traced paths follow the pixel edges. One thing to plan for: vectorised output from this path is black and white, so colour in the RST does not survive as colour in the EMF.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as EMF opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from RST in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to EMF with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • 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

RST to EMF Conversion

What are RST files?

RST is the raster image file of IDRISI, a GIS and remote sensing system developed by Clark Labs at Clark University in the United States and later renamed TerrSet. A file of this type holds a single layer of a map, such as a land cover classification, a soil map, an elevation model, or one band of a satellite image, as a plain grid of values. The meaning of the numbers is not stored in the file itself but in a small text file with the same name and the .rdc extension, which gives the number of columns and rows, the type of the values, the coordinate system, and the range of values. A color table may come in a third file with the .smp extension. Files in this format were originally saved with the .img extension, which was changed to avoid confusion with other formats.

What are EMF files?

EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is a format used by the Windows operating system to store spooling information connected to printing. The term "spooling" comes from the acronym for "simultaneous peripheral operations online" and represents the creation of a list of tasks scheduled for completion by Windows at a later time. EMF files can contain vector or bitmap components and they replaced the original WMF (Windows Metafile) format, using a 32-bit structure instead of a 16-bit one and thus providing better quality of printing.

Can reaConverter convert RST to EMF?

Yes! reaConverter instantly converts .rst to .emf with perfect quality preservation. With its batch processing feature, you can convert multiple files at once in just a few clicks. You can even convert images directly from Windows Explorer using the right-click menu — fast and convenient.

What is reaConverter used for?

reaConverter is a Windows converter for 800+ formats, GIS data among them.
