FAQ
NTF to PNG Conversion
What are NTF files?
NTF is an extension used by two different geographic formats. The first is the National Imagery Transmission Format, a US and NATO standard for satellite and aerial images, in which a file can carry one or several pictures together with graphics, text, and detailed information about the sensor, the time, and the security classification. The second is the National Transfer Format of Great Britain, a British Standard from 1988 that is the usual format for digital map data of Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency, such as contours, elevation models, road and river networks, and administrative boundaries. The two have nothing in common except the three letters, and the first bytes of the file show which one it is.
What are PNG files?
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
