Free online GIF→FITS converter. Fast, private, no sign-up.
Going from GIF to FITS takes a couple of clicks: drop the file in, download the result. Drop in your GIF file (a .gif) and download a ready-to-use FITS file (a .fits) — no software to install, no account to create, and no watermark on the output.
GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame, but it persists for one reason: simple, autoplaying, looping animation that works in any context without a video player.
FITS is an image format. Converting to or from it lets you use the same picture in apps and on platforms that expect a different format.
The usual reason to convert GIF to FITS is file size or quality: FITS fits the job better, whether that means a smaller download, a cleaner edit, or broader support. Under the hood the conversion runs on libvips and ImageMagick — the same libraries that power image pipelines across the web — so colour, transparency and metadata are handled correctly wherever the target format supports them.
FITS has no alpha channel, so any transparent areas in your GIF are flattened onto a solid background during conversion. GIF can animate but FITS can't, so only the first frame is kept — convert to a video format like MP4 instead if you want to preserve the motion.
You might be optimising images for a faster-loading page, exporting for a specific app or marketplace, or just making sure a colleague on a different device can open what you send.
Privacy is the default here. Your GIF file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, downloaded the moment it's ready, and then deleted automatically a short time afterwards. We never keep your files, never build a library of your content, and never make you sign up to download the result.
