Technical note

Before you convert SG-GRD-Z to TIFF

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. TIFF 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 TIFF 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 TIFF 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 TIFF 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 TIFF 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.

My scanner saves everything as massive TIFF files, which are impossible to email. reaConverter lets me batch-convert them to searchable PDFs with tiny file sizes. My clients actually get their documents now!

I needed to convert TIFF to multi‑page PDF for an archive project. reaConverter handled it effortlessly – 2,000 pages in one batch. The output PDF was searchable (thanks to OCR) and had the same resolution as the originals. Absolutely brilliant.

As a book scanner, I deal with TIFF files daily – they're huge. reaConverter compresses them to PDF or JPEG without losing any detail. I've saved terabytes of storage and still have archive‑quality images. This software paid for itself in storage costs alone.

My scanning software outputs TIFF, but I need PNGs for my website. reaConverter batch‑converts hundreds of TIFFs to PNG with perfect colour fidelity. The process is lightning‑fast, and the interface is so intuitive that even my non‑tech assistant uses it.

I'm a graphic designer, and I often receive TIFF files from photographers. reaConverter converts them to editable PSDs with layers intact (where possible). It even keeps the colour profiles. This has streamlined my collaboration with clients tremendously.

FAQ

SG-GRD-Z to TIFF 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.
