I am trying to export a DEM raster as a 16 bit image using the Raster>Conversion>Translate drop down menus in QGIS. I have seen somewhere I need to save it with a -ot tag to turn it into a 16 bit image but I cannot work out how to do that. If I type in -ot into the end of the output file name it does not work . I know I am not getting it.

Alternatively, how do I do it via command line?

  • The Translate tool that you are using has a drop down menu for "Output data type". The default is "Use Input Layer Data Type" but you want to select "Int16".

As mentioned in the comments, simply select the data type from the dropdown list:
