The .dcm extension files are raster image format files that are universally used by the medical community for creating and storing body scans of patients. This format was developed by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and is primarily associated with the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) image format files.
The bitmap image file format or bmp file for short, is a raster graphics image file. It uses a dot matrix data structure to represent pixelated points of color and to store digital image information. The format optionally supports compression and has wide cross platform support on all the major computer operating systems. Because bmp files are raster graphics files, image resolution is constrained meaning images in this format will not scale without loss in quality. This is in contrast to vector graphics images that can scale to arbitrary resolutions.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for DCM to BMP conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload DCM files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized BMP results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent BMP audio with dependable progress tracking.
A .dcm extension file is associated with the DICOM format which consists of standard specifications to store, distribute and analyze images related to the medical field. It works as a communication protocol to store information like the name, contact information, personal details and the medical history of the patient in combination with the scanned images so that the patient's details can be linked to the image for future reference.
Because bmp files can be uncompressed, it is capable of supporting larger file sizes and thus higher resolution and higher quality images. This capability makes bmp files inappropriate for digital distribution via webpages or through bandwidth limited networks. Pixels in a bitmap support deferent color depths from 1 bit of either black or white, to grayscale which is 8 bits, to finally 24 bit RGB giving a possible 16777216 possible colors. Color depth can go as high as 32 bits however this is rarely encountered or needed in practice.
Upload your image file in the DCM format from your device, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Select BMP as the output format and click Convert. Adjust optional settings if needed.
Download the converted image file. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.
