Flexible Image Transport System (.fit)

The Flexible Image Transport System (FIT) file format, widely used in the field of astronomy and imaging, is designed for the storage, transmission, and processing of digital images and data. Developed in the late 1970s by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the FIT format has become the standard for storing complex data arrays, including metadata. FIT files are particularly valued for their ability to preserve high-precision scientific data and extensive headers, making them indispensable in both professional and amateur astronomical research.

Free Lossless Image Format (.flif)

The Free Lossless Image Format (FLIF) is a lossless image compression format designed to outperform other formats like PNG, lossless WebP, and JPEG 2000 in terms of compression ratio. Introduced in 2015, FLIF uses MANIAC (Meta-Adaptive Near-zero Integer Arithmetic Coding) for efficient compression, making it suitable for various image types without quality loss. Despite its advantages, FLIF development ceased as it was superseded by JPEG XL.
