# The FITS File Plug-In

GIMP can read and write FITS images. The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format was developed by NASA for cross platform transfer of astronmical data. Note that not all FITS files will contain an image — the format is also used for the transport of other data such as tables and matrices.
