Convert Scanned documents (MAG) online for free
The converter easily converts your MAG Scans to various formats - free and online. No Kofax Capture or or other Raster Image software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Scanned Document Image" file type, you need software like Kofax Capture or a similar tool.
The .MAG file extension primarily represents a scanned document image format originally developed for Imaging for Windows (commonly known as Wang Imaging). These files are typically used in enterprise archiving systems like Kofax Capture. Additionally, the extension is shared by secondary formats, including 16-color "Makichan" bitmap graphics from 1990s Japanese computers, VLSI circuit layouts, and DICOM medical MRI scans.
Opening these files today is a significant challenge. The original Wang Imaging software is obsolete and incompatible with modern 64-bit operating systems. Standard image viewers and web browsers lack the specific legacy codecs required to decode the proprietary compression used in .MAG files. Attempting to open an enterprise scan directly often results in an "unsupported format" error. If the file is a medical MRI scan, it requires highly specialized software like ImageJ to view the DICOM data.
To restore accessibility and ensure long-term preservation, you must convert these files. For document archiving and sharing, convert .MAG to PDF. For high-fidelity image preservation without compression artifacts, convert to TIFF. If you need to display the scan on a web page, convert to JPG or WEBP. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing outdated software.

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 MAG converter.
