VRT file extension - GDAL Virtual Format
What is vrt file? How to open vrt files?
File type specification:
File extension vrt is used for a specific file format created by the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL). It allows a virtual dataset to be derived from other datasets that GDAL can read.
This format enables raster data to be virtually represented. This indicates that instead of being physically stored in the file, the data is referred to from other files. Complex processes like as subsetting, mosaicking, and real-time reprojection of raster data are made possible by this.
