FITS File

File extension .FITS
CategoryImage File
DescriptionThe Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) is a widely used format for astronomical data storage and interchange. It was first developed in the late 1970s and has been updated over the years to keep pace with changing technology and scientific requirements.

FITS files contain both image and metadata information in a flexible, self-describing format that is platform-independent. This means that data can be easily shared and analyzed across different computer systems and software programs.

FITS files are commonly used to store data from ground-based telescopes, space observatories, and other astronomical instruments. They can also be used for simulations and other scientific applications.

FITS files can contain a wide range of information, including spectral data, time-series data, and multi-dimensional data cubes. They are widely supported by astronomical software packages, including image processing software and data analysis tools.

In summary, the FITS format provides a flexible and powerful way to store and share astronomical data. Its continued development and widespread adoption ensure that it will remain an important tool for astronomers and other scientists for years to come.

CategoryImage File
DescriptionJPG is the file format for images made by digital cameras and spread throughout the world wide web. Saving in JPG format an image loses its quality, because of the size compression. But at the end you have a much smaller file easy to archive, send, and publish in the web. These are the cases when an image's size matters more than image's quality. Nonetheless, by using professional software you can select the compression degree and so affect the image's quality.

FAQ ▼

How do I convert FITS to JPG?
Open CoolUtils' online converter, upload your FITS file, pick JPG as the output format and click Convert. The JPG downloads to your computer when it is ready. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

What is a FITS file?
FITS stands for Flexible Image Transport System, the format astronomers use for images and data from telescopes and instruments. Each file pairs the pixel values with a readable header that records how the observation was made.

Can I open a FITS file without astronomy software?
Most general image viewers skip FITS, so the simplest route is to convert it. Turn the file into JPG with CoolUtils' online converter and it opens in any picture viewer, browser or document editor.

Is converting FITS to JPG free?
Yes. The converter is free to use, asks for no registration and installs nothing on your machine. You upload the FITS file, choose JPG and download the finished image.

Does the JPG keep the header information?
No. The header keywords belong to the FITS format and do not travel into a JPG, which stores only the picture. Keep your original FITS file if you need the observation details later.

Can I convert FITS to JPG on a Mac or a phone?
Yes. CoolUtils' online converter works in any modern browser, so macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS behave the same. Open the page, upload the FITS file and save the JPG to your device.
 

 

Quick answer: To convert FITS to JPG, open CoolUtils' online converter, upload the FITS file, choose JPG as the output format, click Convert and download the picture. The result is a standard image you can post, email, print or drop into a document, without any astronomy software. It is free and runs in the browser.

FITS is the standard file format for astronomical images and data. A single file carries the pixel data plus a header of text keywords describing the observation. Telescope archives and imaging software use it daily, but ordinary viewers and web pages do not, which is why FITS is usually converted to JPG for sharing.

Does converting FITS to JPG lose the science data?

Yes, and that is expected. A FITS file stores high bit depth measurements and a header full of metadata, while JPG stores an 8 bit picture for viewing. Keep the original FITS for analysis and use the JPG for showing the image to other people.
