How to convert PDF to DICOM

Features and controls

Choose pages by preview or range

Select page thumbnails or enter a page range.

How page selection works

Use page numbers starting at 1. A range such as 1-3, 5 selects the first three pages and page five. Check the highlighted pages before Start; only the selected pages are exported.

Turn pages before export

Rotation offers quarter turns for the selected output.

How rotation affects the result

Leave rotation at 0° or choose 90°, 180° or 270°. The output includes the full PDF page after rotation, including its visible text, images and graphics. It does not isolate individual embedded pictures.

Understand the DICOM output

The page is rendered at 200 DPI.

What the DICOM file contains

Each page becomes a secondary-capture DICOM image. The file is a rendered document page, not an original medical acquisition; it does not recreate the source study’s imaging metadata.

Export the whole visible page

The output includes the page composition, not just its pictures.

When to extract images instead

PDF-to-image conversion includes text, backgrounds and graphics as they appear on the page. Use Extract Images from PDF to recover embedded raster image occurrences at their native pixel dimensions instead.

Save the selected pages

Select Start to export the chosen pages as DICOM.

What is saved

One selected page produces one output file. Multiple pages include a ZIP with individual page files. The PDF source remains unchanged; save the result before refreshing the download page.
