rio convert

Copy and convert raster datasets to other data types and formats.

Data values may be linearly scaled when copying by using the –scale-ratio and –scale-offset options. Destination raster values are calculated as

dst = scale_ratio * src + scale_offset

For example, to scale uint16 data with an actual range of 0-4095 to 0-255 as uint8:

$ rio convert in16.tif out8.tif –dtype uint8 –scale-ratio 0.0625

Format specific creation options may also be passed using –co. To tile a new GeoTIFF output file, do the following.

–co tiled=true –co blockxsize=256 –co blockysize=256

To compress it using the LZW method, add

–co compress=LZW
