Technical note

Before you convert SG-GRD-Z to PSD

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. PSD 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 PSD returns a shade, not an altitude. Missing cells in an elevation grid, such as water, radar shadow or the edge of a survey, are not empty: they hold a sentinel value, -32768 in SRTM, -32767 in DTED and very often -9999 in ESRI grids. Counted as a real height, that value stretches the scale so far that the actual terrain collapses into a few near-identical shades. When a PSD output looks flat and washed out, a void treated as data is the usual cause.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as PSD opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from SG-GRD-Z in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to PSD 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.

I had a huge PSD archive from an old project that I needed to convert to TIFF for printing. reaConverter preserved every layer and adjustment – the output was identical to the original. I've tried other converters, but they always flatten or lose quality. This one is the real deal.

Clients kept asking to ‘just peek’ at my layered PSDs. Now I convert them to locked PDFs with reaConverter before sending. No more ‘accidental’ edits from ‘helpful’ clients!

I'm a freelance illustrator, and I send PSDs to clients for feedback. But they can't always open them. reaConverter converts my PSDs to PDF with embedded layers, so they can view and comment without Photoshop. It's made client collaboration so much smoother.

ReaConverter's batch conversion of PSD to WebP is a lifesaver for my e‑commerce site. I take product mockups in PSD and convert them to lightweight WebP images for faster loading. The quality is amazing, and the compression is aggressive but clean. Highly recommended for online stores.

FAQ

SG-GRD-Z to PSD 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 PSD files?

PSD is the default format for handling images using Adobe Photoshop and it represents a layered image file. PSDs allow later editing of available layers, including transparency, masks, alpha channels and texts, among others. After applying all desired editing, PSD files can be saved in Photoshop under more easily recognizable formats, such as JPEG or PNG, which are also smaller in size but flatten the image and hence do not allow later editing of layers.
