GDAL-RASTER(1) GDAL GDAL-RASTER(1) NAME gdal-raster - Entry point for raster commands Added in version 3.11. SYNOPSIS Usage: gdal raster [OPTIONS] where is one of: - as-features: Create features from pixels of a raster dataset - aspect: Generate an aspect map - blend: Blend/compose two raster datasets - calc: Perform raster algebra - clean-collar: Clean the collar of a raster dataset, removing noise. - clip: Clip a raster dataset. - color-map: Generate a RGB or RGBA dataset from a single band, using a color map - compare: Compare two raster datasets. - contour: Creates a vector contour from a raster elevation model (DEM). - convert: Convert a raster dataset. - create: Create a new raster dataset. - edit: Edit a raster dataset. - fill-nodata: Fill nodata raster regions by interpolation from edges. - footprint: Compute the footprint of a raster dataset. - hillshade: Generate a shaded relief map - index: Create a vector index of raster datasets. - info: Return information on a raster dataset. - mosaic: Build a mosaic, either virtual (VRT) or materialized. - neighbors: Compute the value of each pixel from its neighbors (focal statistics) (alias: neighbours) - nodata-to-alpha: Replace nodata value(s) with an alpha band. - overview: Manage overviews of a raster dataset. - pansharpen: Perform a pansharpen operation. - pipeline: Process a raster dataset applying several steps. - pixel-info: Return information on a pixel of a raster dataset. - polygonize: Create a polygon feature dataset from a raster band. - proximity: Produces a raster proximity map. - reclassify: Reclassify values in a raster dataset - reproject: Reproject a raster dataset. - resize: Resize a raster dataset without changing the georeferenced extents. - rgb-to-palette: Convert a RGB image into a pseudo-color / paletted image. - roughness: Generate a roughness map - scale: Scale the values of the bands of a raster dataset. - select: Select a subset of bands from a raster dataset. - set-type: Modify the data type of bands of a raster dataset. - sieve: Remove small polygons from a raster dataset. - slope: Generate a slope map - stack: Combine together input bands into a multi-band output, either virtual (VRT) or materialized. - tile: Generate tiles in separate files from a raster dataset. - tpi: Generate a Topographic Position Index (TPI) map - tri: Generate a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) map - unscale: Convert scaled values of a raster dataset into unscaled values. - update: Update the destination raster with the content of the input one. - viewshed: Compute the viewshed of a raster dataset. - zonal-stats: Calculate raster zonal statistics Common Options: -h, --help Display help message and exit --json-usage Display usage as JSON document and exit --config = Configuration option [may be repeated] Options: --drivers Display raster driver list as JSON document AVAILABLE SUB-COMMANDS o gdal raster info o gdal raster aspect o gdal raster blend o gdal raster calc o gdal raster clean-collar o gdal raster clip o gdal raster color-map o gdal raster compare o gdal raster convert o gdal raster create o gdal raster footprint o gdal raster fill-nodata o gdal raster hillshade o gdal raster index o gdal raster mosaic o gdal raster neighbors o gdal raster nodata-to-alpha o gdal raster overview o gdal raster pipeline o gdal raster pixel-info o gdal raster polygonize o gdal raster proximity o gdal raster reproject o gdal raster resize o gdal raster rgb-to-palette o gdal raster roughness o gdal raster scale o gdal raster select o gdal raster sieve o gdal raster slope o gdal raster stack o gdal raster tile o gdal raster tpi o gdal raster tri o gdal raster unscale o gdal raster update o gdal raster viewshed EXAMPLES Example 1: Getting information on the file utm.tif (with text output) $ gdal raster info utm.tif Example 2: Converting file utm.tif to GeoPackage raster $ gdal raster convert utm.tif utm.gpkg Example 3: Getting the list of raster drivers (with JSON output) $ gdal raster --drivers AUTHOR Even Rouault COPYRIGHT 1998-2026 August 18, 2026 GDAL-RASTER(1)
