Technical note

Before you convert SG-GRD-Z to PNG

Every cell in an SG-GRD-Z file holds a measurement rather than a colour, usually elevation in metres, running from sea level up to whatever the highest point in the tile happens to be. PNG stores brightness, so the conversion stretches that range across a grey or colour scale. What you get is a readable picture of the terrain, and it is the right thing for a relief map or a figure. What you no longer have is the data: sampling a pixel in the PNG returns a shade, not an altitude. SG-GRD-Z carries georeferencing: a coordinate reference system, and the real-world position and ground size of every pixel. PNG has nowhere to record any of that. The picture transfers intact, the location does not, so the output cannot be dropped onto a map afterwards without being placed by hand. Keep the SG-GRD-Z original if the data still has to go back into a GIS.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see SG-GRD-Z data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to PNG for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to PNG 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.

I design stickers but could never cleanly resize my PNG logos without pixelation. reaConverter’s PNG-to-SVG tool keeps everything sharp—even when scaling up. My Etsy shop looks way more professional now!

For my game development sprites, I need PNGs with perfect compression. reaConverter lets me fine-tune the color palette and compression level. It even preserves metadata. This is the only converter I trust for my asset pipeline.

I love that reaConverter can convert PDF pages to individual PNGs. I used it to extract images from a scanned document – each page became a high-res PNG with zero loss. It's like magic, but it actually works every time.

I had a pile of JPG screenshots that I needed to convert to PNG for a presentation. reaConverter kept every pixel intact. The interface is so straightforward – drag, drop, choose format, and go. No bloat, no ads. Just pure conversion power.

FAQ

SG-GRD-Z to PNG Conversion

What are SG-GRD-Z files?

SG-GRD-Z is a compressed grid file of SAGA GIS, a free, open-source geographic information system used for terrain analysis, hydrology, soil science, and climate studies. A grid is a map made of equal cells with one value in each, such as an elevation model. The older SAGA format keeps such a grid in several separate files: one with the values, one with the description, and often one with the projection. A file with this extension packs all of them into a single archive, which is more convenient to store, copy, and send, and which takes less space because the data are compressed. The archive can be opened in SAGA GIS like an ordinary grid, without unpacking it by hand.

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.
