Official EPSG transformation from NTF to WGS 84

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between NTF (EPSG:4275) and WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.

NTF to WGS 84 (1)

EPSG:1193±2 m
Method:
Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)
Area of use:
France - onshore - mainland and Corsica
Scope:
(null/copy) Approximation for medium and low accuracy applications assuming equality between plate-fixed static and earth-fixed dynamic CRSs, ignoring static/dynamic CRS differences.
ParameterValueUnit
X-axis translation(tx)-168metre
Y-axis translation(ty)-60metre
Z-axis translation(tz)320metre

These same parameter values are used to transform to ETRS89. See NTF to ETRS89 (1) (code 1651).

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting NTF to WGS 84?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±2 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation in a desktop GIS.
Does my data leave the browser when I use this converter?
No. All coordinate transformations are computed locally in your browser using proj4js. The coordinates you enter are never transmitted to any server.
