About

FIPS is a cross-platform FITS viewer with responsive user interface. Unlike other FITS viewers FIPS uses GPU hardware via OpenGL to provide usual functionality such as zooming, panning and level adjustments. OpenGL 2.1 and later is supported.

FIPS supports all 2D image formats (excluding floating point for OpenGL 2.1). FITS image extension has basic limited support.
