Converting a .tpkx into a tiff (Wayback Imagery)

Mscope9363 — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 15:10:42 GMT

Hello all! I have downloaded some wayback imagery for a project I am working on. They were downloaded as tile packages (.tpkx). The end goal is to convert them to a tiff. Does anyone have a good solution for this? I have used the extract package tool to extract the files and I have tried copy raster, raster to other format, and just good old export raster but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@Mscope9363 I have the same problem. Did you figure out a solution?

Hello all,

I'm looking for the same solution as well. I found how to do it with a small raster -> 2 steps: first the "Extract Package" tool, with .tpk file as the Input Package, then the "Raster to Other Format" tool to transform into a .tif

But there's a limit of 2GB for this tool so it doesn't work for large rasters, so if anyone got a solution for that, that'd be really helpful!

First, check if the data licence allows caching. If it does, you can use a layout map series with export to GeoTIFF to create an offline copy of the data.

Create a custom layout as a square, configure with zero border and 5% overlap
Tile your area of interest (e.g., with Create Fishnet) to create polygons for a map series index
Add the map of just imagery to the layout and view the map series index to confirm that each page will give you a "tile" of the imagery. Adjust the DPI until each GeoTIFF has the resolution you want.
Export the Map Series to GeoTIFF with "Write GeoTIF tags enabled". When done, you should have a set of overlapping tiles at the desired resolution.
Combine all GeoTIFFs into a single image, or mosaic.
