Convert FITS to JPG — auto-stretched, browser-only
Convert FITS astronomy images to JPEG. Same auto-stretch as our PNG converter, but smaller files for quick sharing on chat / forums. Prefer PNG if you plan to do any further editing — JPEG throws away detail in low-contrast regions where faint deep-sky structures live.
How it works
- Drop a
.fitsfile (or any image) onto the page. - The JPG output preset is already selected — hit Convert Now.
- Download the result. The whole conversion ran in your browser via WebCodecs or FFmpeg.wasm. No file left your device.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. poqpoq is a static site — the page you're looking at is a bunch of JavaScript your browser downloaded once. It runs entirely on your device. There is no upload endpoint. When you open your browser's Network tab during a conversion, you'll see zero requests going out.
