Turn the CT / MRI scans from your hospital into MP4 or GIF that play on any phone or computer.
No more specialist viewer software. Want it right now? Open the web app. Want your images to never leave your device? Use the offline app.
For communication only, not for diagnosis
Both convert the same kind of hospital imaging archives. The difference is where the conversion happens.
Works in any browser on phone or computer. The easiest way to view a scan just once.
Install it on Android or Windows. Everything is converted on your device, and your images never leave it.
| Web app | App | |
|---|---|---|
| Install | Nothing to install — just use the browser | Android APK, Windows installer, macOS build to try |
| Where it converts | On a server after upload (you can self-host with Docker) | On your own device, fully offline |
| Archive types | zip, rar | zip, rar, 7z |
| Result retention | Cleaned up automatically after 24 hours by default | Kept on your device for 1, 7 or 30 days |
| Best for | One-off use, or when you cannot install software | Sensitive images, frequent use, or offline processing |
Privacy note: with the web app, your archive is uploaded to a server for processing. If your images are sensitive, use the offline app, or self-host following the web app repository.
The disc or archive from your hospital contains DICOM files that ordinary computers and phones cannot open. DicomFlow turns them into a video you can play and send to a doctor in one step.
MP4 is best for sending to a doctor; GIF is handy for a quick look in a chat. Multiple series can be merged into one file.
The app converts everything on your device, and web results are cleaned up automatically. No accounts, no cloud storage.
Just pick the archive from your hospital — no manual unpacking. The app bundles ffmpeg and 7-Zip, so the Windows installer works out of the box.
Preview before you save. The app lets you step through slices and zoom with pinch or scroll; the web app offers online preview and download.
Chat apps, photo galleries and desktop players can all open the result, which makes consultations and sharing with family easier.
Both the web app and the app are MIT-licensed. Source code, releases and Docker images are all available on GitHub.
Pick the zip / rar from your hospital (the app also supports 7z), or just drag it into the window.
Choose MP4 (best for sending to a doctor) or GIF, optionally merge series into one file, then start converting.
Download or share once you are happy with the preview. Web results are kept for only 24 hours by default, so save them promptly.
| You have | Hospital CT / MRI scans: DICOM images (the kind found on the discs hospitals copy for you) |
|---|---|
| Archive | Web app: zip, rar; app: zip, rar, 7z |
| Files inside | .dcm、.dicom、.ima, or DICOM files with no extension |
| Output | MP4 video or GIF |
Tip: Uncompressed, JPEG and RLE images usually convert. JPEG 2000 and some other hospital compressions may not — ask the hospital for an uncompressed or JPEG export.
DicomFlow is for communication only and is not for diagnosis. It is not a medical device. For diagnosis, use the professional viewer provided by your hospital and follow your doctor's advice.
