Extract text from DICOM images or split archives (00001)
To convert 00001 files to another format, you need RadiAnt or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Medical Data or Archive" file type, you need software like RadiAnt or a similar tool.
The .00001 file extension typically represents either a DICOM medical imaging data file or the first part of a split multi-volume archive (such as ZIP, RAR, or 7Z). In the medical field, hardware like MRI or CT scanners generate massive sequences of image slices. Instead of using the standard DCM extension, older or specialized systems simply save these slices as numerically sequenced files (.00001, .00002, etc.). To view these medical scans, users typically need dedicated clinical software like RadiAnt DICOM Viewer. Alternatively, file archivers like 7-Zip use the .00001 extension to break enormous datasets or video files into smaller chunks to bypass email or cloud storage upload limits.
Users often need to convert .00001 files because they present severe compatibility challenges. They are proprietary, often massive, and completely unsupported by web browsers, mobile devices, and native operating system tools. Because the file name is just a number, Windows and macOS cannot associate it with a default program. Sharing a raw patient scan or an incomplete split archive with a non-technical user is practically impossible.
If your file is a DICOM medical image, the best conversion targets are JPG, PNG, or PDF for universal viewing. However, be aware that converting medical imagery to standard raster formats results in the loss of critical patient metadata and clinical diagnostic precision due to compression. If your file is a split archive, direct conversion is impossible - you must first consolidate all subsequent parts in a single directory to extract the underlying contents.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it lacks a definitive standard protocol; it relies entirely on its internal header to instruct software on how to read it. Standard online converters fail because they rely on file extensions to guess the format, and a sequence number tells them nothing. Often, only the original medical viewer or archiving utility can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 00001 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted 00002, 001, 00000, MR000000 and MRI files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 00001 converter.
