FAQ
GTIFF to FITS Conversion
What are GTIFF files?
GeoTIFF (.gtiff) is a georeferenced image format used for storing raster graphics with embedded geographic metadata. Common in GIS and remote sensing, it allows precise alignment with map coordinates, making it ideal for satellite imagery, terrain models, and aerial photography. GeoTIFF files are widely supported by mapping software and can be converted or edited without losing their spatial reference.
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.
