About Fits and WebP

The .fits (Flexible Image Transport System) format is commonly used in astronomy and scientific imaging to store large datasets and multi-dimensional arrays. While powerful, .fits files can be large and not ideal for web display. WebP, developed by Google, is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Converting .fits to WebP significantly reduces file size, leading to faster loading times and improved website performance. This is particularly beneficial for displaying astronomical images online, allowing for quicker access to valuable data and visualizations. WebP supports transparency and animation, making it a versatile format for various web applications.
