What is a GeoTIFF
GeoTIFF is a file format for geographical raster data. It is an image file format, especially for Geo data. In the file format, specific metadata for Geo data is included, such as the CRS (Coordinate Reference System), the spatial extent (coverage), resolution and no data value.
How to create a GeoTIFF file
To convert a Geo Data set so that it meets these requirements, for example a GIS (Geographical Information System) can be used. ArcGIS Desktop is one example. An open-source alternative is QGIS.
