Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion process secure?
Yes, we prioritize the security of your data. Your files are processed on secure servers and are automatically deleted after conversion.
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
The maximum file size is 50MB. If your FITS file is larger, please consider compressing it or splitting it into smaller files.
Can I convert multiple FITS files at once?
Currently, our converter supports single file conversion. You will need to convert each FITS file individually.
What if the converted BMP image looks different from the original FITS data?
BMP is a simpler format than FITS and may not perfectly represent all the data. We strive to maintain the highest possible quality during conversion, but some information loss may occur. Adjusting the color mapping or scaling in the FITS file before conversion can sometimes improve the BMP output.
About FITS and BMP Formats
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a standard digital format used to store scientific images, particularly in astronomy. It's designed to handle large datasets and metadata. BMP (Bitmap) is a raster graphics image file format that stores image data pixel by pixel. Converting FITS to BMP allows for easier viewing and sharing of astronomical images with standard image viewers. This conversion is often necessary for creating presentations, reports, or simply viewing the data outside of specialized astronomy software. The process involves interpreting the FITS data and representing it as a bitmap image, which is a more universally compatible format.
Supported FITS Variations
