About DT0 files

A .dt0 file is a Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) Level 0 file, a standard military GIS format developed by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). Unlike a standard image, this file contains a raw grid of elevation values (vertical heights) representing a 1-degree by 1-degree section of the Earth's surface. Users typically encounter these files when working with flight simulators, military mission planning, or legacy GIS datasets.

The real problem is that .dt0 files are binary data arrays, meaning they cannot be opened by standard photo viewers like Microsoft Photos or Preview. To make them usable for presentations, 3D modeling, or modern mapping, users must convert them into visual formats like GeoTIFF (TIF), JPG (as a hillshade visualization), or 3D-compatible formats like DEM or DXF.

Convert.Guru analyzes your DT0 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted LCP, FMF and TST files.

The DT0 Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DT0 converter.
