**Algorithm ID**: `hedgetools:managerastertiles`
```

This tool intersects a given extent with the extents of all raster files within a directory and copies the intersecting rasters into another directory.

It is particularly useful when working with a large number of tiles, allowing you to quickly identify and extract only those that overlap your study area.

## Parameters

| Label | Name | Type | Description |
|----------|----------|----------|----------|
| Extent of the study area | `EXTENT`| [extent] | Input extent from a layer, canvas, ... |
| Input directory path | `INPUT_DIR`| [folder] | Folder containing the input raster files.   |
| Output directory | `OUTPUT_DIR`| [folder] | Output folder - must already exist before running the algorithm. |

## Outputs

| Label         | Name          | Type           | Description |
|---------------|---------------|----------------|-------------|
| Output directory | `OUTPUT_DIR`| [folder] | Folder where raster files matching the specified extent are saved. |
