JNG to FITS Conversion: FAQ
What are JNG files?
JNG (JPEG Network Graphics) is an offshoot of the PNG/MNG family that packages a JPEG-compressed RGB image together with a lossless PNG-style alpha channel, giving you full transparency at smaller file sizes than an equivalent PNG. It uses the same chunked structure as PNG, making it easy to embed metadata or animation cues when paired with MNG. Despite its clever hybrid design, mainstream browsers and tools never embraced JNG, so it remains a niche format overshadowed by PNG, WebP, and AVIF.
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.
