TIFF / GeoTIFF Export
Preserves georeferencing and is the recommended general scientific raster exchange format.
Best used when: maximum interoperability and quantitative raster use are required.
Export Raster
Download a project raster in a selected raster format and optionally change coordinate system or pixel resolution.
Shared Raster ToolsEnd-User DocumentationTheory + Formula + Parameters1. What This Feature Does
Download a project raster in a selected raster format and optionally change coordinate system or pixel resolution.
Cloud workflow: choose data → configure the scientific method → run → review the resulting layer/report. No programming is required.

3. Theory, Methods & Equations
ECW Export
Creates a compressed ECW representation when that format is required.
Best used when: an ECW-compatible desktop/CAD/GIS workflow is required.
Reprojection / Resampling
Creates a transformed raster when target CRS or explicit pixel size differs from the source.
xtarget=T(xsource)
Best used when: the receiving system needs a different grid.
4. Input Data
| Input | Type | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input Raster | raster | Required |
5. Parameters Available in the Application
| Parameter | Default | Choices / Range | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target Coordinate Reference System | 4326 | 1 to 999999 | Search by CRS name or EPSG code. Example: WGS 84 / UTM zone 49S — EPSG:32749. |
| Target Resolution (0 = Auto) | 0 | 0 to — | Resolution in target CRS units. Use 0 to let the reprojection engine calculate an appropriate resolution automatically. |
| Resampling | bilinear | Nearest Neighbor, Bilinear, Cubic, Average |
6. Output & Interpretation
The result should be interpreted according to the selected method and the physical meaning of the input data. Preserve source units, coordinate reference information, NoData meaning, acquisition date, and preprocessing level when comparing results.
Scientific interpretation: an algorithm can produce a numerically valid result even when the input data are unsuitable. Always check masks, units, sensor characteristics, spatial resolution and reference data.
Important: Use Auto / Keep Source Resolution when no resampling is needed. For classified rasters use Nearest Neighbour when changing grid.
7. Best Practices
- Use analysis-ready inputs and remove invalid/cloud/noise artifacts that are not part of the target phenomenon.
- Choose parameters from the physical scale of the data, not only from visual appearance.
- Keep categorical and continuous rasters conceptually separate when selecting interpolation/resampling methods.
- Compare the result with the source image and independent reference information.
- Document the settings used when results will be compared across dates, sensors or study areas.
