We think that the best way to render your files is without any necessary conversions. Just drop'em on this website and they are ready to render. Slice:Drop supports a variety of scientific file formats out-of-the-box (see here for a complete list).

Slice:Drop uses WebGL and HTML5 Canvas to render the data in 2D and 3D. We use our own open-source toolkit to perform the rendering, called XTK.

All data stays on the client and nothing gets transferred via the internet. This is totally safe!

The following file formats are currently supported:

Volumes

• DICOM
• NIfTI
• MGH/MGZ
• NRRD

Meshes

• VTK PolyData
• Freesurfer
• STL

Fibers

• TrackVis

Misc.

• Color Tables
• Scalars
