About FITS and JPEG 2000

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 efficiently. JPEG 2000 (J2K) is a modern image compression standard offering superior compression ratios and image quality compared to traditional JPEG. Converting FITS to J2K allows for more efficient storage and sharing of astronomical data while preserving crucial image details. J2K supports both lossy and lossless compression, providing flexibility based on your needs. This conversion is useful for archiving, visualization, and analysis of FITS images.
