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) and the spatial extent. Also other metadata, common for raster data are included such as the resolution and an optional no data value.
How to create a GeoTIFF file
Any Geo Data can be transformed to a GeoTIFF file. This can be done with for example a GIS (Geographical Information System).
