OTB to RB conversion is the process of transforming image files stored in the OTB (Open Tile Bitmap) format into the RB (Raster Bitmap) format. This conversion repackages tiled or optimized OTB image data into RB’s flat raster representation so the image can be opened or edited by applications that require RB files.

OTB files typically contain source data with limited compatibility, while RB files are widely supported and optimized for performance. RB offers better integration with modern applications compared to OTB. Choosing RB format ensures a smoother workflow for most users.
Keep source OTB files under 200–400 MB each for faster, more reliable web conversions; very large tiled OTB images can require more memory and processing time.
To preserve quality, choose RB lossless output or set RB quality to 'high' when converting images with transparency or fine detail.
For large numbers of files, use batch conversion tools or a desktop converter; converting many high-resolution OTB tiles one-by-one increases processing time.
Be aware that some OTB-specific metadata (tile maps, custom layer annotations) may not map directly to RB and could be lost during conversion.
