Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion process secure?
Yes, we prioritize the security of your data. Your files are processed on our servers and are not stored permanently. We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your privacy.
What is the maximum file size I can convert?
The maximum file size is currently limited to 50MB. We are continuously working to increase this limit.
Can I convert multiple FITS files at once?
Currently, our converter supports single file conversions. Batch conversion functionality is planned for future updates.
What if the converted JPEG image looks distorted?
Distortion can sometimes occur due to the compression inherent in the JPEG format. You can experiment with different JPEG quality settings (if available in future versions) to find a balance between file size and image quality.
About FITS and JPEG
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. However, FITS files aren't easily viewable by standard image viewers. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a widely used image format known for its compression capabilities and compatibility across various devices and platforms. Converting FITS to JPEG allows for easy sharing, viewing, and integration of scientific images into presentations, reports, or websites. This conversion makes complex data accessible to a broader audience.
