Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my DCM file open?
DCM files may not open if your device lacks the right codec or application. Converting to JP2 — a more widely supported format — usually resolves this. JP2 (JPEG 2000) offers wavelet-based compression with better quality than JPEG at the same bit rate.
Is it safe to convert DCM to JP2 online?
Yes. CocoConvert encrypts your file via TLS, processes it on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deletes it within 24 hours. Your files are never shared or analysed.
Will I lose quality converting DCM to JP2?
Converting DCM to JP2 maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings. CocoConvert uses high-quality encoder defaults to preserve as much fidelity as possible.
How large can my DCM file be?
Free users can convert files up to 250 MB each. Pro users get a 5 GB limit per file, and Business API users have custom limits.
Can I convert DCM to JP2 on my phone?
Absolutely. CocoConvert works in any modern browser — iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and all desktop browsers. No app required.
