FAQs

Is converting FITS to AVIFS free?

Yes, GoConvertFile offers free conversion of FITS to AVIFS for files up to 100MB. No registration required.

How long does it take to convert FITS to AVIFS?

Most FITS to AVIFS conversions complete within seconds for standard-sized files. Larger files may take longer depending on the conversion complexity.

What is AVIFS best used for?

AVIFS is ideal for modern web animations, high-efficiency image sequences. AVIF Sequence, animated AVIF image format for modern web

Does converting FITS to AVIFS lose quality?

Yes, converting FITS to AVIFS uses lossy compression, which reduces file size by discarding some visual data. Set quality to 85-95% for a good balance of quality and file size.

What file size should I expect after converting FITS to AVIFS?

AVIFS files are typically 50-80% smaller than FITS files because AVIFS uses efficient lossy compression. The exact reduction depends on quality settings.

Will transparency be preserved when converting FITS to AVIFS?

No, AVIFS does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your FITS will be filled with a solid color (usually white) during conversion. Use PNG or WebP if transparency is needed.

What is FITS?

Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) is a scientific data format used primarily in astronomy for storing and transmitting images and datasets.

What is AVIFS?

AVIF Sequence, animated AVIF image format for modern web — stored as image/avif-sequence — uses lossy encoding to handle modern web animations, high-efficiency image sequences. Typical file sizes: varies by content.

When Should You Use FITS vs AVIFS?

Use FITS When...

Reach for FITS when your priority is astronomy, scientific imaging, research — its uncompromising quality ensures every detail is preserved.

Use AVIFS When...

Reach for AVIFS when your priority is modern web animations, high-efficiency image sequences — its efficient compression makes sharing fast and storage minimal.

FITS vs AVIFS: Key Differences

  • •FITS uses lossless compression while AVIFS uses lossy compression — this is the fundamental technical difference between the two formats.
  • •Converting from FITS to AVIFS changes compression type: lossy source becomes smaller but with some quality tradeoff.
  • •Transparency: Not supported in AVIFS — converting from FITS will merge transparency into a solid background
  • •AVIFS files tend to be differently sized than FITS
  • •Use case fit: FITS targets astronomy, scientific imaging, research and AVIFS targets modern web animations, high-efficiency image sequences — your choice depends on which workflow stage you are serving.

Advantages of FITS

  • ✓FITS uses lossless compression tailored for Astronomy, scientific imaging, research.
  • ✓FITS is supported natively on virtually every device, browser, and operating system.
  • ✓FITS files are bit-for-bit perfect, preserving every pixel and sample for professional work.
  • ✓FITS integrates seamlessly with all major creative tools and workflows.

Advantages of AVIFS

  • ✓AVIFS uses lossy compression tailored for Modern web animations, high-efficiency image sequences.
  • ✓AVIFS is supported natively on virtually every device, browser, and operating system.
  • ✓AVIFS files are compact and quick to transfer, even over slow connections.
  • ✓AVIFS integrates seamlessly with all major web development tools and workflows.

Troubleshooting FITS to AVIFS Conversion

  • !Converting FITS to AVIFS gives blurry output → increase the quality setting before conversion
  • !Colors look different in AVIFS than FITS → check color profile mismatch (sRGB vs Adobe RGB)
  • !File size changed more than expected → AVIFS uses different compression, file size differences of 2-5x are normal
  • !Transparent areas in FITS turned white in AVIFS → AVIFS may not support transparency
