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 use secure protocols to ensure the confidentiality of your information.
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
The maximum file size for upload is 50MB. If your FITS file is larger than this, please consider compressing it or splitting it into smaller files.
Can I convert multiple FITS files at once?
Currently, our converter supports converting one FITS file at a time. We are working on adding batch conversion functionality in the future.
What if the converted PJPEG image looks different from the original FITS image?
While we strive to maintain the highest possible quality, some data loss may occur during the conversion process due to the inherent limitations of the PJPEG format. Adjusting the compression settings may help to minimize this loss.
Understanding FITS and PJPEG
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a standard digital format used to store astronomical and scientific images. It's designed to handle large datasets and complex image information. PJPEG (Progressive JPEG) is a variant of the JPEG format that allows for progressive rendering, meaning the image gradually appears as it downloads. Converting FITS to PJPEG makes astronomical images more accessible for viewing and sharing on the web, as PJPEG is widely supported by browsers and image viewers. This conversion is particularly useful for astronomers, researchers, and enthusiasts who want to share their findings with a broader audience. The process ensures that the visual data contained within the FITS file is accurately represented in a commonly used image format.
