EIP at a glance
EIP
Digital photography fragmented into many manufacturer-specific raw formats because camera makers optimized for their own sensors, metadata, and software ecosystems rather than for one shared public raw standard.
FITS at a glance
FITS
FITS became a durable scientific standard because observatories, spacecraft, and analysis tools needed a stable interchange format that outlived individual instruments and software stacks.

FAQs
Why convert EIP to FITS?
Convert to FITS when preserving scientific image data, observation metadata, or instrument-derived captures for astronomy and research workflows.
It is the right target when measurement context matters as much as the picture itself.
What changes when converting EIP to FITS?
This conversion changes how the format behaves in downstream tools and delivery environments.
Moving to FITS removes camera raw data.
What should I review after converting EIP to FITS?
Validate output quality on representative files and confirm the target format behaves correctly in the destination workflow.
