Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion process secure?
Yes, we prioritize the security of your data. Your files are processed securely and are not stored on our servers.
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
The maximum file size is 50MB. If your file is larger, please consider compressing it or using a different conversion method.
Can I convert multiple FITS files at once?
Currently, we support converting one FITS file at a time. We are working on adding batch conversion functionality in the future.
What if the PNG image looks distorted?
Distortion can sometimes occur due to the way FITS data is interpreted. Try adjusting the color mapping or scaling options in your FITS viewing software before converting.
Understanding FITS and PNG
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. However, viewing FITS files directly can be challenging without specialized software. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely supported raster graphics file format known for its lossless compression and ability to display images with sharp details. Converting FITS to PNG allows for easy visualization and sharing of scientific data with a broader audience. This conversion process makes complex astronomical data accessible without requiring specialized tools.
