| Flexible Image Transport System Format | N/A | Raster Image Files |
The FTS file extension is mainly associated with the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS). FITS is a digital file format designed especially for storage, transmission, and manipulation of scientific and other images. FITS is an open standard that can store multiple images in one file and supports keyword-based image formatting. The FITS format was initially developed at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in the US.
Features
FTS files store raw data from astronomical or scientific experiments which can easily be manipulated and imported into other applications. Users are able to modify this data with the appropriate software, allowing it to work better with other applications. Furthermore, FTS files provide excellent data integrity as unlike other image formats (such as JPEG and PNG) it does not require any compression. This also makes it very easy to detect changes in the source image.
Similar File Extensions
FTS files are usually found alongside several other related file extensions such as .FIT, FTI, .FTR, and .FXS. These other related file extensions tend to be used interchangeably with FTS for similar purposes such as data storage and manipulation.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FTS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FTS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FTS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FTS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FTS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FTS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FTS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FTS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FTS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FTS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
