How to convert png to GeoTif

Question

I would like to convert using c# or python my png to GeoTif , what would I need? How could I implement it? (I can use arcpy)

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use Python and ArcPy to call the Raster to Other Format tool:

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = "/path/to/directory"
arcpy.RasterToOtherFormat_conversion("in_images/myimage.png","out_images","TIFF")

This assumes of course that your PNG is already georeferenced. If not, you need to georeference it first. This is usually done with ArcMap's Georeferencing toolbar because it requires manual intervention.
