Raster To Other Format (Conversion)

Summary

Converts one or more raster datasets to a different format.

Usage

• If any of the input rasters cannot be converted to the specified output format as a result of the limitations for that format—for example, supported pixel types or number of bands—an error will be returned. The tool will then proceed to the next input raster in the list.

• If a name and format already exist in the output workspace, a number will be appended to the end to make the feature class unique (for example, landuse_1.tif).

Code sample

RasterToOtherFormat example 1 (Python window)

This sample converts several input rasters of different formats and outputs them as rasters of the same format.

import arcpy
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = "c:/data"
arcpy.conversion.RasterToOtherFormat("test.tif;test2.tif;test3.tif", 
                                     "OtherFormat","BIL")

RasterToOtherFormat example 2 (stand-alone script)

This sample converts several input rasters of different formats and outputs them as rasters of the same format.
