Why convert DICOM to JPG?
DICOM is the medical standard — but it's not what most people use day to day. Your phone, your photo apps, social media platforms, email clients, and word processors all expect JPG, PNG, or PDF.
Converting your scan to JPG is useful when you want to:
- Email a scan image to a family member
- Include the scan in a Word document or presentation
- Print a single slice for your own records
- Save a screenshot-style image of a specific finding
OpenMyScan converts DICOM to JPG entirely in your browser. No upload, no account, no watermark.
How to convert your DICOM file
Three short steps. OpenMyScan converts one slice at a time.
-
Step 1 — Drop your DICOM file or folder
Drag and drop into the dropzone above, or click to choose.
-
Step 2 — Pick the slice
For multi-slice studies (MRI, CT), the converter shows you the available slices. Pick the one you want as JPG. For single-image DICOMs (most X-rays), the conversion happens automatically.
-
Step 3 — Download
Click Download. The JPG saves to your computer. No watermark, no account required.
DICOM to JPG vs PNG vs PDF
Different formats fit different use cases:
- JPG: smallest file size, best for emailing or sharing on phones. Slight quality loss but visually identical for medical scans.
- PNG: lossless, slightly larger file. Best when you need pixel-perfect quality (publications, presentations).
- PDF: best when you want to include multiple slices, captions, or share a “report-style” document.
OpenMyScan offers tools for all three. Pick the one that fits how you'll use the file.
Questions people actually ask
Will the JPG show patient information?
By default, yes — DICOM files contain patient name and ID. If you want to remove that information first, use our DICOM Anonymizer tool before converting.
Does the converted JPG match the original quality?
The JPG looks fine for personal viewing and sharing. It drops the technical metadata radiologists use. For doctor-to-doctor transfer, send the original DICOM, not the JPG.
Can I convert multiple slices at once?
OpenMyScan converts one at a time. For a full series, export each slice in turn or open the study in the DICOM viewer.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Conversion happens in your browser. Files never leave your device.
Why is the converted file very small or very large?
JPG compression varies based on image content. Medical scans typically compress to 100KB–2MB per slice — that's normal.
Can I print the JPG?
Yes — once downloaded it's a standard image file, printable from any application.
