Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

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

  • Render every file in a folder to CGM with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • 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.

We faced a massive challenge: digitizing 20 years of CGM archives into PNG format. Initial estimates projected months of work, but reaConverter's powerful batch processing and resolution scaling let us complete the project in weeks. Most impressively, it handled even our pre-1994 vector files flawlessly—zero errors, perfect fidelity.
