About GeoTIFF

Map of Spain in GeoTIFF — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.

GeoTIFF is a raster format with embedded georeferencing. The map is saved as a TIFF image with coordinates, projection, and metadata. The de facto standard for georeferenced raster maps. Exported at print resolution (300 DPI by default).

Which layers are in the file

The set of layers depends on the selected area.

File size

The expected size of the GeoTIFF file for Spain is about 120.9 MB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.

Coordinate systems

WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), selectable in the wizard

Units

Meters (projected in the chosen coordinate system)

Category	Raster
File extension	`.tif`
Tier	Open Beta

How to use GeoTIFF for Spain

QGIS (free) — drag the .tif into the program window: the layer lands in place and the projection is detected automatically.
ArcGIS and Global Mapper — Add Data; the raster attaches as an underlay beneath your vector layers.
Google Earth Pro — File → Import, choose the GeoTIFF: the map lands on the globe (for heavy files the program will offer to reduce the resolution).

FAQ: GeoTIFF for Spain

What's the difference between GeoTIFF and regular TIFF?

GeoTIFF contains coordinate and projection metadata, allowing GIS software to position it correctly.

Can I open GeoTIFF in QGIS?

Yes, QGIS natively supports GeoTIFF and auto-detects the projection.

GeoTIFF or COG?

COG (Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF) is a GeoTIFF extension for cloud services. For local work, regular GeoTIFF is better.

At what resolution does the raster arrive?

300 DPI by default — print quality. The image size in pixels depends on the resolution and the sheet size, so a large area at high DPI gives a heavy file.

What compression is the file packed with?

LZW — lossless compression: the pixels are not damaged, and the file is noticeably smaller than an uncompressed TIFF. All GIS programs and graphics editors understand it.
