GeoTIFF Hillshade Generator

Generate a local shaded-relief preview from one GeoTIFF elevation band using configurable sun azimuth, altitude, and vertical scaling.

Local GeoTIFF

Elevation units and horizontal resolution must be compatible for meaningful relief; the preview is not written back to GeoTIFF.

Choose a GeoTIFF up to 32 MB and 25 million pixels.

Understanding GeoTIFF Hillshade Generator

Cells, bands and derived values

Generate a local shaded-relief preview from one GeoTIFF elevation band using configurable sun azimuth, altitude, and vertical scaling.

GeoTIFF Hillshade Generator calculates from raster cells arranged in rows, columns and bands. Resolution, nodata values, band meaning and the raster CRS affect every derived value.

How to validate the analysis

Elevation units and horizontal resolution must be compatible for meaningful relief; the preview is not written back to GeoTIFF.

Before interpreting GeoTIFF Hillshade Generator, check band selection, units, nodata handling and edge cells. Browser-generated results should be compared with known values for important work.
