TIFF to DICOM Converter
Convert a stack of TIFF slices to DICOM: open the slices as one voxel volume, set the voxel size and export the volume as a DICOM file.
- Free plan
- Windows, macOS, Linux
MeshInspector opens a stack of TIFF slices as one voxel volume and exports it as DICOM in the desktop app.
How to convert TIFF to DICOM
Install and sign in
Download MeshInspector for Windows, macOS or Linux and sign in. The free Community plan is enough.
Open the TIFF stack
On the CT tab click Open Voxels From TIFF and pick the folder with the slices: MeshInspector reads them as one voxel volume.
Export as DICOM
Select the volume, click Export and choose .dcm.
Save
Pick a folder and save the DICOM file.
What to know about TIFF → DICOM
- A TIFF file holds one image or a stack of slices; a stack of slices can be read as a 3D volume.
- DICOM stores CT and MRI scans as slices; together they form a 3D volume of densities, not a surface.
- MeshInspector reads the TIFF slices as one voxel volume and exports the volume as DICOM in the desktop app.
- MeshInspector opens a DICOM series as a folder (Open Directory), not file by file.
Online or desktop
Online
This page describes the conversion in the desktop app, which opens a stack of TIFF slices as one voxel volume and exports it as DICOM.
Desktop
The desktop app runs on Windows, macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux. Use it for large files, many files, and the tools the web app does not have. The free Community plan covers opening and exporting; see Pricing for what the paid plans add.
FAQ
Can I convert TIFF to DICOM online?
Not on this page. Opening a stack of TIFF slices as one volume (Open Voxels From TIFF on the CT tab) and exporting it as DICOM is done in the desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux. The converter on the mesh pages handles single mesh files such as STL, OBJ, PLY and 3MF.
Is the TIFF to DICOM conversion free?
Opening TIFF slices as a volume and exporting it use no paid tool, so the free Community plan is enough. Building a mesh from the volume (Voxels to Mesh) or segmenting it requires a paid plan; the Pricing page lists what each plan includes.
Do I need an account?
Yes. The desktop app asks you to sign in; a free account on the Community plan is enough to open the slices and export the volume. The Pricing page lists what the paid plans add, such as measurement, segmentation and repair tools.
Are spacing and units kept?
DICOM stores the spacing of slices and pixels in millimeters, and MeshInspector reads the spacing of the TIFF stack from the voxel size you set when you open it. Check the spacing of the result in your imaging software before you use it for measurements or planning.
