This page lists useful batch file examples for using gdal_translate.exe. For complete documentation on this tool please visit gdal.org/programs/gdal_translate

Basic Format Conversion

Format conversion can be done using "-of <format_name>" then specifying the "<source_dataset> <destination_dataset>".

ASC to GeoTIFF

gdal_translate.exe -of GTiff DEM_M01_5m.asc DEM_M01_5m.tif

ASC to GPKG

gdal_translate.exe -of GPKG DEM_M01_5m.asc DEM_M01_5m.gpkg

GeoTIFF to ASC

  • -co: (Creation Option) - output format specific option. Flag must be used for each creation option used. - More Details
    • SIGNIFICANT_DIGITS=<n>: limits the precision of the output
gdal_translate.exe -of AAIGrid -co SIGNIFICANT_DIGITS=8 DEM_M01_5m.tif DEM_M01_5m.asc

Adding Compression to GeoTIFF


Using DEFLATE Compression on Output GeoTIFF

  • -co: (Creation Option) - output format specific option. Flag must be used for each creation option used -More Details
    • COMPRESS=<method>: "NONE", "DEFLATE", "LZW", and "PACKBITS" are currently supported by TUFLOW
gdal_translate.exe -of GTiff -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE DEM_M01_5m.asc DEM_M01_5m.tif

Specifying the Compression Level for the DEFLATE Compression Method

  • -co: (Creation Option) - output format specific option. Flag must be used for each creation option used -More Details
    • ZLEVEL=[1-9]
gdal_translate.exe -of GTiff -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE -co ZLEVEL=9 DEM_M01_5m.asc DEM_M01_5m.tif

Adding a Horizontal Predictor to the Compression

  • -co: (Creation Option) - output format specific option. Flag must be used for each creation option used -More Details
    • PREDICTOR=[1/2/3]: 1 (No Predictor) and 2 (Horizontal Predictor) currently supported by TUFLOW
gdal_translate.exe -of GTiff -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE -co ZLEVEL=9 -co PREDICTOR=2 DEM_M01_5m.asc DEM_M01_5m.tif
