.dcm · DICOMDIR · files with no extension from hospital CDs
No file is ever uploaded — conversion happens on this page.
No software to install, no account to create. The converter is the page you're on.
Copy the .dcm files from your hospital imaging CD. Look for files with the .dcm extension, a DICOMDIR index, or files with no extension in a DICOM folder.
Parsing and rendering run entirely in your browser. Window/level values from the DICOM tags are applied automatically. Images and patient data never leave your machine.
Download as JPG, PNG or PDF. Send to your attorney, insurer, or second-opinion specialist without worrying about a cloud service holding your protected health records.
The output below is the actual format the converter produces.

Image rendered with correct Hounsfield window. Exported as JPG, PNG or PDF — viewable by anyone, contains no raw PHI bytes.
Upload-based DICOM converters receive your medical images on their servers — including patient name, ID, and imaging date embedded in every DICOM file. DicomExhibit was built the opposite way: the conversion engine ships to your browser. Load the page, disconnect from the internet, and convert offline.
No server ever receives your DICOM files. Parsing and rendering are client-side code.
Patient name, ID, study date and all other metadata embedded in the DICOM file never leave your device.
No transmission to third parties. No retention. Processing stays in the browser session.
DicomExhibit converts images for sharing and review. It provides no diagnosis, measurement, or clinical analysis.
No subscription. Credits never expire.
DICOM is a medical imaging standard from 1993, not a consumer format. Hospital-burned CDs sometimes include a proprietary viewer that only runs on Windows, or no viewer at all. Outside the radiology suite, almost nothing opens DICOM natively — which is why a browser-based converter that needs no installation is useful.
No. Parsing and rendering run entirely in your browser. DICOM files embed patient name, ID, date of birth and other PHI directly in the file metadata — there is no version of an upload-based DICOM converter that is HIPAA-friendly for patient-owned data. This converter has no server to receive anything.
Uncompressed DICOM (the most common format on hospital imaging CDs): Implicit VR Little Endian, Explicit VR Little Endian, Explicit VR Big Endian. CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography — any modality that writes uncompressed pixel data. Compressed syntaxes (JPEG 2000, JPEG Lossless, RLE) show a clear error message; support is planned.
No. DicomExhibit converts images for sharing and review. It provides no diagnosis, measurement, or clinical analysis. Always consult a radiologist for clinical decisions.
Each DICOM file converted counts as one credit, whether it's a single CT slice or a chest X-ray. A typical spinal MRI series runs 200–400 slices. 1,000 credits covers two to five full series. Credits never expire and there's no subscription to cancel.
