FITS

FITS is a digital file format designed for the storage and transmission of scientific data, particularly in astronomy. Optimized for large datasets, it efficiently handles multi-dimensional arrays and metadata, making it indispensable for image and data analysis in telescopes and space missions. Its extensibility ensures compatibility across various platforms and software, securing its place as a vital tool in scientific research.

BMP

BMP (Bitmap Image File) is a raster graphics image file format known for its simple structure and high-quality images. It supports various color depths and is widely used in digital imaging. BMP files are uncompressed, ensuring excellent quality but larger file sizes. Ideal for applications requiring detailed visuals, BMP is a staple in the graphic design and photography industries.
