Available with Image Server
The Convert Raster to Feature tool converts a raster to point, line, or polygon features.
The output is a hosted feature layer.
Usage notes
Convert Raster to Feature includes configurations for input layers, analysis settings, and output settings.
Input layers
The Input layers group includes the following parameter:
- Input layer defines the raster to be converted. 
Analysis settings
The Analysis settings group includes the following parameters:
- Field specifies the conversion value. It can be an integer or text value for point, line, or polygon output, and floating-point values can only be used if the output is to a point dataset. The default is the VALUE field, which contains the value in each raster cell. 
- Output type specifies the output feature type. - Point—The raster will be converted to a point dataset. This is the default.
- Line—The raster will be converted to a line feature dataset.
- Polygon—The raster will be converted to a polygon feature dataset.
 - If the output type is Line or Polygon, an additional parameter appears allowing the simplification of lines or polygons. 
- Simplify lines or polygons specifies whether lines or polygons will be simplified (smoothed). The smoothing is done so that the line contains a minimum number of segments while remaining as close as possible to the original raster cell edges. - Checked—The line or polygon features will be smoothed to produce a more generalized result. This is the default.
- Unchecked—The line or polygon features will not be smoothed and will follow the cell boundaries of the raster dataset.
 
- Create multipart features specifies whether the output polygons will consist of single-part or multipart features. - Checked—Multipart features will be created based on polygons that have the same value.
- Unchecked—Individual (single-part) features will be created for each polygon. This is the default.
 
- Maximum vertices per polygon feature is the vertex limit used to subdivide a polygon into smaller polygons. - This parameter produces similar output as that created by the ArcGIS Pro Dice tool. - If left empty, the output polygons will not be split. This is the default. - This parameter is only supported if the Output type parameter is set to Polygon. 
Result layer
The Result layer group includes the following parameters:
- Output features name is the name of the output feature layer that will be created. - The name must be unique. If a layer with the same name already exists in your organization, the tool will fail and you will be prompted to use a different name. 
- Save in folder specifies the name of a folder in My content where the result will be saved.
Environments
Analysis environment settings are additional parameters that affect a tool's results. You can access the tool's analysis environment settings from the Environment settings parameter group.
This tool honors the following analysis environments:
- Output coordinate system
- Processing extent
Note:The default processing extent in Map Viewer is Full extent. This default is different from Map Viewer Classic in which Use current map extent is enabled by default. 
- Snap raster
Outputs
This tool includes the following outputs:
- A feature service
Usage requirements
This tool requires the following licensing and configurations:
- Creator or GIS Professional user type
- Publisher or Administrator role, or an equivalent custom role
- ArcGIS Image Server configured for raster analysis
