I'm trying to convert Sentinel2 jp2 image to tiff using gdal_translate. When running the code:

ns27:~ Miguel$ gdal_translate /Users/Miguel/Desktop/S2_b1.jp2       /Users/Miguel/Desktop/S2_b1tif.tif
Input file size is 1830, 1830
0

The file is created but can´t be opened.

Any suggestion about how to proceed?

  • What means "file is created but can't be opened"? Is it just created so that progress percentage stays at zero? And gdalinfo does not report anything?

  • When running gdal_translate the percentage stays at zero and a tif file is created in the folder but it is just a 8kb file that can not be opened (in my case I want to import it to R as tif). I'm using macOS Sierra v. 10.12.1. I'm using the Terminal to run the code. When closing Terminal, it seems gdal_translate is still working. I waited for hours but the percentage didn't move from 0

  • Can you give us your exact GDAL version - as seen in gdalinfo --version?

  • Which drivers your GDAL has for JPEG2000? Check with gdalinfo --formats and search for JP2 in driver names.

  • my GDAL version is GDAL 2.1.2. This is what I see when checking the driver for JPEG2000 JPEG2000 -raster,vector- (rwv): JPEG-2000 part 1 (ISO/IEC 15444-1), based on Jasper library If I run this, the drivers are: Miguel:~ Miguel$ gdalinfo --formats | grep JP2 JP2ECW -raster,vector- (rw+v): ERDAS JPEG2000 (SDK 5.2) JP2OpenJPEG -raster,vector- (rwv): JPEG-2000 driver based on OpenJPEG library

I can't reproduce your issue with GDAL 2.2-dev (yesterday's trunk version from gisinternals.com).

I downloaded a rando Sentinel2 zip file from https://scihub.copernicus.eu/dhus/#/home. It happened to be "S2A_MSIL1C_20170129T110311_N0204_R094_T31UCT_20170129T110306.zip".

I unzipped the file and changed my working directory into 

C:\data\S2A_MSIL1C_20170129T110311_N0204_R094_T31UCT_20170129T110306.SA
FE\GRANULE\L1C_T31UCT_A008385_20170129T110306\IMG_DATA>

I used this command:

C:\data\sentinel\S2A_MSIL1C_20170129T110311_N0204_R094_T31UCT_20170129T110306.SA
FE\GRANULE\L1C_T31UCT_A008385_20170129T110306\IMG_DATA>gdal_translate T31UCT_201

Input file size is 10980, 10980
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

Gdalinfo report from the resulting tiff file:

Beside the method you have already found, using of="GTiff" might solve the problem
