About FITS and QOI
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a standard digital format used to store scientific images, particularly in astronomy. While powerful, FITS files can be large and require specialized software to view. QOI (Quite OK Image) is a relatively new image format designed for fast compression and decompression, offering excellent image quality with smaller file sizes. Converting from FITS to QOI allows for easier sharing, faster loading times, and broader compatibility without sacrificing crucial image data. This is particularly useful for online publication of scientific results or for quick visualization of astronomical images.
