.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.EX
Usage: gdal raster convert [OPTIONS] <INPUT> <OUTPUT>

Convert a raster dataset.

Positional arguments:
  \-i, \-\-input <INPUT>                                  Input raster dataset [required]
  \-o, \-\-output <OUTPUT>                                Output raster dataset (created by algorithm) [required]

Common Options:
  \-h, \-\-help                                           Display help message and exit
  \-\-json\-usage                                         Display usage as JSON document and exit
  \-\-config <KEY>=<VALUE>                               Configuration option [may be repeated]
  \-\-progress                                           Display progress bar

Options:
  \-f, \-\-of, \-\-format, \-\-output\-format <OUTPUT\-FORMAT>  Output format
  \-\-co, \-\-creation\-option <KEY>=<VALUE>                Creation option [may be repeated]
  \-\-overwrite                                          Whether overwriting existing output is allowed
                                                       Mutually exclusive with \-\-append
  \-\-append                                             Append as a subdataset to existing output
                                                       Mutually exclusive with \-\-overwrite

Advanced Options:
  \-\-oo, \-\-open\-option <KEY>=<VALUE>                    Open options [may be repeated]
  \-\-if, \-\-input\-format <INPUT\-FORMAT>                  Input formats [may be repeated]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBgdal raster convert\fP can be used to convert raster data between
different formats.
.sp
The following options are available:
.SS Standard options
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-f, \-\-of, \-\-format, \-\-output\-format <OUTPUT\-FORMAT>
Which output raster format to use. Allowed values may be given by
\fBgdal \-\-formats | grep raster | grep rw | sort\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-co <NAME>=<VALUE>
Many formats have one or more optional creation options that can be
used to control particulars about the file created. For instance,
the GeoTIFF driver supports creation options to control compression,
and whether the file should be tiled.
.sp
May be repeated.
.sp
The creation options available vary by format driver, and some
simple formats have no creation options at all. A list of options
supported for a format can be listed with the
\fI\%\-\-formats\fP
command line option but the documentation for the format is the
definitive source of information on driver creation options.
See \fI\%Raster drivers\fP format
specific documentation for legal creation options for each format.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-overwrite
Allow program to overwrite existing target file or dataset.
Otherwise, by default, \fBgdal\fP errors out if the target file or
dataset already exists.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-append
Append input raster as a new subdataset to existing output file.
Only works with drivers that support adding subdatasets such as
\fI\%GTiff \-\- GeoTIFF File Format\fP and \fI\%GPKG \-\- GeoPackage raster\fP
.UNINDENT
.SS Advanced options
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-oo <NAME>=<VALUE>
Dataset open option (format specific).
.sp
May be repeated.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-if <format>
Format/driver name to be attempted to open the input file(s). It is generally
not necessary to specify it, but it can be used to skip automatic driver
detection, when it fails to select the appropriate driver.
This option can be repeated several times to specify several candidate drivers.
Note that it does not force those drivers to open the dataset. In particular,
some drivers have requirements on file extensions.
.sp
May be repeated.
