About

JPEG

JPEG is a widely used lossy image format that achieves high compression via DCT. In GIS, JPEG is often used to store and transfer true-color satellite imagery and orthophotos, and can carry georeferencing via .jgw world files.

Conversion trade-offs

JPEG: what you gain

  • Efficient storage and transfer
  • Natively supported by browsers

Why convert SRTM HGT to JPEG?

Converting SRTM HGT to JPEG is one of the most common workflows in GIS. SRTM HGT data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while JPEG is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your SRTM HGT files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean JPEG output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.

Is the SRTM HGT to JPEG converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting SRTM HGT to JPEG?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your SRTM HGT file uses a projected CRS (like UTM), you can search any EPSG coordinate system by keyword or code and reproject in one step. Note: output formats that require WGS84 by specification (KML, KMZ, GPX) always reproject to WGS84 automatically.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drop several SRTM HGT files at once and each one produces its own JPEG output.
