FAQ
VRT to TIF Conversion
What are VRT files?
VRT (Virtual Raster) is a small text file in XML format that describes an image or a map without containing any pixels of its own. It points to one or many other raster files and explains how to combine them: which pieces to place side by side in a mosaic, which bands to take, which part of a large picture to cut out, and how the values should be rescaled. Programs that open a VRT file see a single ordinary image, while the real data stay in the source files. This saves disk space and time, because a mosaic of thousands of tiles can be assembled in an instant and changed by editing a few lines of text. The format is widely used in remote sensing and mapping to work with large collections of images.
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.
