[GIS] Convert geotiff to wgs84

coordinate systemgeotiff-tiffqgis

I would like to understand how to use QGIS to convert a geotiff that I have to a projection that will work with my vector files and maybe web mapping application. I believe I want it in WGS84 since that is what I am most comfortable with.

How would I either use QGIS or use the gdal command line tools to convert this file to WGS 84? The following is the result of running gdalinfo on it. 

gdalinfo 1590_2602.tif

With Qgis: One way is to Save As. Open your layer and use "Save As" option and there you have the choice to project your dataset under a new projection.

Directly with gdal :

gdalwarp -overwrite in.tif out.tif -s_srs EPSG:102634-t_srs EPSG:4326
