Technical note

How SG-GRD-Z and TIF differ in practice

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. TIF 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 TIF 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 TIF 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 TIF 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 TIF 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.

FAQ

SG-GRD-Z to TIF 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 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.
