Technical note

Before you convert TAB to JXL

TAB coordinates are positions on the earth, tied to a stated reference system, and each feature carries its own row of attributes. JXL is a picture: the coordinates become pixel positions and the attribute table is dropped entirely. That is fine for illustration and no use as data, so keep the TAB original if anything downstream needs to query or reproject the features. TAB describes geometry rather than pixels, so it has no inherent resolution. The conversion renders it at whatever size you choose, and that choice is final: enlarging the JXL afterwards will not recover the sharpness. Set the output dimensions or DPI before converting, not after.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see TAB data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to JXL for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to JXL 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.
