ECW to FITS: what to expect from the conversion

ECW describes geometry rather than pixels, so it has no inherent resolution. The conversion renders it at whatever size you choose, and that choice is final: enlarging the FITS afterwards will not recover the sharpness. Set the output dimensions or DPI before converting, not after.

ECW to FITS Conversion: FAQ

What are ECW files?

ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) is a highly efficient image compression format designed for large raster images, commonly used in geospatial and satellite imagery. It uses wavelet-based compression to deliver high-quality visuals at significantly reduced file sizes, enabling fast streaming and zooming.

What are FITS files?

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
