Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion process secure?
Yes, we prioritize the security of your data. Your files are processed on our servers with robust security measures, and we do not store your files after the conversion is complete.
What is the maximum file size I can convert?
The maximum file size is 50MB. If your file exceeds this limit, please consider compressing it or using a different conversion method.
How long does the conversion take?
The conversion time depends on the file size and complexity. Generally, smaller files are converted within seconds, while larger files may take a few minutes.
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.
About Fits and SGI Formats
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is the standard digital format used to store and transmit astronomical data. It's designed to handle large, multi-dimensional arrays of data, including images, spectra, and tables. SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) is an older image format originally developed by Silicon Graphics. While less common today, it's still used in some specialized applications, particularly in scientific visualization and older image processing workflows. Converting from FITS to SGI allows astronomers and researchers to utilize SGI-compatible tools for viewing and analyzing their data. This conversion is crucial when working with legacy systems or specific software that requires the SGI format.
Supported FITS File Types
