# Raster and imagery
Felt can read raster data like aerial and satellite imagery, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), surface temperature measurements and more in a variety of formats.
## Static files
### Supported file formats
* GeoTIFFs (`.tif`, `.tiff`)
* Raster Geopackages (`.gpkg`)
* ASCII grids (`.asc`, `.xyz`)
* Common image formats like PNG and JPEG if an auxiliary World File (`.wld`, `.pnw`, `.jpw`, etc) is provided.
### Unknown projections
Most raster formats include relevant information about the Coordinate Reference System the data is in. However, if no such metadata is found, Felt will assume coordinates to be in latitude & longitude (when inside bounds) or Webmercator meters.
### Processing
For adequate display, Felt will convert the source data to PNGs with values fitted to the 0-255 range. This might mean some colors may appear slightly different from the original data.
Color tables (paletted values) and No Data values will be respected if present.
## Tile URLs
Felt can also read raster data from tiled URL sources in formats like WMTS and XYZ (slippy maps). In Click on Upload Anything in the toolbar and choose the option **`Add from URL...`**
{% embed url="" %}
These sources must be imported as *template URLs*, which means the URL must contain the following parts: `{z}` (zoom), `{x}` (row) and `{y}` (column). Instead of the `{y}` parameter, `{-y}` may also be used to indicate that tiles are served in [TMS](https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Tile_Map_Service_Specification) format. They must also end in `.png`, `.jpg` or `.jpeg`.
Here’s an example raster URL of the city of Aberdeen from the National Library of Scotland:
```jsx
https://geo.nls.uk/maps/towns/aberdeen/{z}/{x}/{-y}.png
```
Example: David Rumsey Maps
Working with the David Rumsey map collection in Felt is easy via our XYZ (slippy maps) tile URL service. Here’s how to get these maps into Felt.
1. Use [this map](https://www.davidrumsey.com/view/georeferenced-maps) to find maps from the collection that are georeferenced. Alternatively, skip down a few steps if you are already on a map’s metadata page.Once you have found a map, click on its pin, and then its image from the popup:
2. The map will open in another viewer, click on the option **“What’s next?”** in the bottom right hand corner of the map:
3. This will take you to the map’s metadata page. From here, copy the **XYZ link** in the **“Use in GIS apps”** portion of the page
* for example, the Denver map link is [`https://maps.georeferencer.com/georeferences/cbbf9f5f-a294-59c9-a2de-88855513599e/2017-03-29T03:45:12.290249Z/map/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key=SsmpU2nwmUdxCLg5XZaZ`](https://maps.georeferencer.com/georeferences/cbbf9f5f-a294-59c9-a2de-88855513599e/2017-03-29T03:45:12.290249Z/map/%7Bz%7D/%7Bx%7D/%7By%7D.png?key=SsmpU2nwmUdxCLg5XZaZ)
* once you have copied the link, use `command + v` to paste it directly on a Felt map. You will notice the toast “**Adding raster layer”** in the top portion of the map:

* once the raster layer is loaded, you’ll see it as a Layer in your map and you can use the option **“Zoom to fit”** to zoom to its extent:
## Styling raster layers
You can control the opacity, legend and position of a raster layer relative to the basemap in the Style Editor. Learn more about [styling raster data](/layers/styling/raster-layers.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.felt.com/upload-anything/raster-and-imagery.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
