Free Online DICOM To PDF Converter

A DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) file is a standard format used for storing medical images, including metadata like patient information and imaging details. It’s widely used for sharing and storing medical imaging data from procedures like CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays.

There is no difference. DCM (.dcm) is simply the file extension used for DICOM files. They are exactly the same format. You can use either our DICOM to PDF converter or DCM to PDF converter as they work exactly the same way.

Converting a DICOM file to a PDF is useful for sharing medical images more easily since PDF is a widely supported image format. PDFs can be opened on any device without specialized software. And our tool will combine all images into a single PDF file for even more easier navigation.

To convert a DICOM file to a PDF, click the button to select a DICOM file, multiple files, or a DICOM directory. Once loaded, click the Save All Images or Save PDF Only button to wait for converting and download the converted images.

A DICOM directory is a folder that contains a file named DICOMDIR. This file includes metadata about all the images stored within the directory. Our tool can parse the DICOMDIR file and load all the images from the directory for conversion. If you have a zip file, you can unzip it first and check that the DICOMDIR file exists before selecting it for conversion.

The output of the conversion process is a dicom-images-[timestamp].zip file. After unzipping, you'll find one combined PDF file per patient. If you also save JPGs, you'll find a structured folder hierarchy with three levels:

• Patient: This top-level folder corresponds to individual patients.
• Study: Inside each patient folder, the study folder groups all related imaging sessions.
• Series: Each study contains one or more series folders, which hold the converted images in JPG format.
