Convert FIT to PJPEG
Convert FIT images to PJPEG format, edit and optimize images online and free.
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.
The PJPEG (Progressive JPEG) is a file extension for images that enhances the standard JPEG format by displaying images in successive waves of increasing detail, improving the user experience during slow network conditions. The JPEG stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", the organization that developed the standard in 1992. PJPEG is particularly useful for web applications, as it allows images to appear more quickly and progressively refine in quality, rather than loading from top to bottom like baseline JPEGs.
Click the Choose File button to select the FIT file.
Use the tools available for converting FIT to PJPEG and click the Convert button.
When the conversion status changes to successful, click on the Download button to get the final PJPEG image.
Rotate FIT to right (90° clockwise), to left (90° counter-clockwise), 180°, and convert it to PJPEG.
Flip FIT vertically and/or horizontally (flop), and convert it to PJPEG.
Convert FIT to PJPEG and change the PJPEG quality by adjusting the JPEG compression level.
To change FIT format to PJPEG, upload your FIT file to proceed to the preview page. Use any available tools if you want to edit and manipulate your FIT file. Click on the convert button and wait for the convert to complete. Download the converted PJPEG file afterward.
