Technical note

Before you convert ECW to JPEG

ECW carries georeferencing: a coordinate reference system, and the real-world position and ground size of every pixel. JPEG has nowhere to record any of that. The picture transfers intact, the location does not, so the output cannot be dropped onto a map afterwards without being placed by hand. Keep the ECW original if the data still has to go back into a GIS. ECW and JPEG both compress by discarding data, so this is a re-encode rather than a copy. The output is built from already-compressed pixels, and the artefacts of the first encode are carried into the second. Use a high quality setting, and convert from the original whenever you still have it.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

A map saved as JPEG opens on any computer and any phone. reaConverter produces those from ECW in batch, entirely offline.

  • Render every file in a folder to JPEG 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.
