The power of astronomical data, accessible to all
FITS Liberator 5 is a cross-platform application designed for astronomers, researchers, and science communicators who work with astronomical FITS files.
With an intuitive interface and advanced algorithms, FITS Liberator 5 allows you to open, visualize, stretch, and convert even enormous FITS datasets—tested up to 43 GB and 12 gigapixels—in real time.
Key Features
- Real-time interactive stretch: Instantly explore the faintest structures in your astronomical data with powerful histogram stretch and preview controls.
- Extreme scalability: Open FITS files of virtually any size, even tens of gigabytes and multi-gigapixel mosaics, with optimized memory usage.
- Dynamic range compression: Flexible non-linear transformations and advanced compression to make every detail stand out.
- Export to TIFF: Save your processed images in 16-bit or 8-bit TIFF format (including BigTIFF for very large files) without loss of quality.
- Cross-platform: Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux (standalone, no installation required).
Why FITS2Image?
FITS Liberator 5 was born from the needs of professional and amateur astronomers to handle and publish scientific images with maximum control and minimal technical barriers. The project is developed with a focus on usability, performance, and scientific accuracy.
