[GIS] Convert .tif with .tfw to a GeoTiff

gdalgeotiff-tiff

I have a tif image file, and a .tfw world file (created from OSM data with Mapertive). How can I (using linux command line) convert that to a GeoTIFF file? (i.e. I want to have one file, not 2). I'm sure it's possible with gdal or something.

So you want a geotiff instead of a tiff with a world file (.tfw). This should be the default in GDAL (http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html) so:

gdal_translate -of GTiff input.tif ouput.tif

It will default to geotiff.

If you have more than one GeoTIFF, you can mosaic them before the conversion. For instance, you can make a virtual mosaic from all of them contained in the same directory:

gdalbuildvrt mosaic.vrt *.tif
gdal_translate -of KMLSUPEROVERLAY mosaic.vrt out.kmz
