  6. Save as Image.


What format can be used to add a QGIS raster layer?

QGIS uses the GDAL library to read and write raster data formats, including ArcInfo Binary Grid, ArcInfo ASCII Grid, GeoTIFF, ERDAS IMAGINE, and many more. GRASS raster support is supplied by a native QGIS data provider plugin. The raster data can also be loaded in read mode from zip and gzip archives into QGIS.

How do I add a VRT file to QGIS?

To open the VRT in QGIS, click ‘Layer’ in the top menu, ‘Add Layer’, and ‘Add Raster Layer’. Click the 3 dots by ‘Raster Layer’, navigate to your VRT file (either 1. vrt or main_vrt. vrt), and ‘Add’.
