About FITS Format

The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) is a standard digital format used to store scientific images, particularly in astronomy. It's designed to handle large datasets and metadata efficiently. Converting APNG (Animated Portable Network Graphics) to FITS allows you to utilize these images in astronomical software and analysis pipelines. While APNG is a common animated image format for web use, FITS is preferred for scientific data due to its ability to store precise calibration and metadata information alongside the image data itself. This makes FITS essential for accurate astronomical research and image processing.
