High Efficiency Image Container (.heic)

The High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) is a file extension used to store images and image sequences, leveraging the High Efficiency Image Format (HEIF). Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and introduced in 2015, HEIC files are acclaimed for their superior compression efficiency, which allows for high-quality images at smaller file sizes. This format is widely used in modern digital devices, including smartphones and cameras, to optimize storage capacity without compromising image quality. It supports advanced features such as live photos, burst photo sequences, and transparent images, making it integral for contemporary digital imaging solutions.

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.
