Flexible Image Transport System (.fits)

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.

Pyramid Encoded TIFF (.ptif)

The PTIF (Pyramid Encoded TIFF) file format, developed by Image Magick, is a specialized variant of the TIFF image format designed to store multiple resolutions of the same image within a single file. This enables efficient zooming and panning in applications without losing image quality. PTIF files are commonly used in geospatial imaging, remote sensing, and medical imaging due to their ability to handle large, high-resolution images efficiently. The format was introduced to address the need for handling large image datasets more effectively in these fields.
