FAQ
ZARR to IFF Conversion
What are ZARR files?
ZARR is an open format for storing very large multidimensional arrays of numbers, such as satellite image series, climate model output, weather forecasts, and microscope scans. A Zarr data set is cut into small chunks, and each chunk is compressed and saved on its own, so a program can read just the part it needs without loading the whole data set, and many computers can work on different parts at the same time. The format was designed for cloud storage, where data are kept as separate objects, and it is now widely used for analysis-ready geospatial data in the cloud. It is maintained by a community of developers, and an OGC community standard describes its second version.
What are IFF files?
IFF is an old image format associated with Amiga computers — a brand connected to Commodore, which used to be popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Commodore was one of the first types of personal computers to gain wide popularity among home users. An IFF file most likely contains an image that was created or edited using an image handling program on an Amiga computer. IFF files are currently considered obsolete and uncommon, so opening them with regular image viewers might be difficult.
