ARCGIS Online Content

Question

Simple question: can I add a raster dataset to a map in ARCGIS online? I'd like to use Hansens Global Forest Cover to a map I'm trying to create_its a .img file. I tried to add a .tiff as well, no luck.

New to the online platform so will have lots of questions.

Thankyou,

Natasha

Hey there Natasha,

You can convert your raster dataset into a tile package and bring it in as a tile layer to ArcGIS Online. Here is a step-by-step for publishing tiles on both ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online. The instructions provided take you through creating the cached tiles using ArcGIS Online (consumes credits for processing) or creating them with ArcGIS Desktop, then pushing them to ArcGIS Online (only uses credits for storage of tiles).

Keep in mind that the tiles are only images of your raster, and will not have the associated raster table and values. Tiles are still a great option for responsive visualization of your data though.

Goodluck!

Cheers,

Brendan
