FAQs
Why convert PMD 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 PMD to FITS?
This conversion changes how the format behaves in downstream tools and delivery environments.
Moving to FITS removes streaming delivery.
What should I review after converting PMD to FITS?
Validate output quality on representative files and confirm the target format behaves correctly in the destination workflow.
