HCImage supports the following standard file formats. In addition, HCImage uses its own proprietary file formats (cxd, cxs) for storing data. For more information see "Document Types."

The Hamamatsu image file format created using high speed streaming to disk.
Hamamatsu Image Sequence file format for 24-bit and 48-bit RGB file types.
This Hamamatsu image file format is used in Wasabi.
This is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. Because TIFF files can include images defined according to multiple image-encoding schemes including CMYK, LZW and RLE. HCImage supports the most common TIFF formats.**
This format enables a file to contain more than one image. This is handled the same way as a regular TIFF file, except for the multi-page LZW and RLE features.**
OME partners at LOCI have developed a variant of the OME-XML File specifically designed for data acquisition and storage. This format, called OME-TIFF, uses OME-XML in the standard TIFF header and stores binary image data in a multi-page TIFF file.
This is a Microsoft multimedia container format. These files can contain both video and audio data in a file that allows synchronous audio video playback.
In this file format all of the image data is saved with either 8 or 16 bits per channel. This ensures that all of your data remains perfectly spatially calibrated. In addition, the exact configuration of the system at time of collection is stored in the PIC file.
Astronomical data file.
Medical imaging format. It is also possible to View/Copy the DICOM.
For multi-plane file images, MetaMorph uses a proprietary image format called the stack (STK) format. The STK format is a modified TIFF 6.0 file that is designed to hold multiple planes and the header data for these planes.
NanoZoomer Digital Pathology Image (NDPI), Virtual Microscope Specimen (VMS), Uncompressed Virtual Microscope Specimen (VMU).
This is the JPEG Tagged Interchange Format. Supports YUV 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:1:1 color spacing, and YUV 4:0:0 for gray-scale.
This format created by CompuServe for storing and exchanging color raster images. This format compresses its image data with the LZW compression technique. *See Legal Notice
This is a replacement for the GIF format. It is a full-featured (non-LZW) compressed format intended for widespread use without legal restraints.
This file format created by Microsoft does not include addition image descriptions (e.g., author, calibration, etc.) Some BMP images are compressed with RLE- type compression.
This is the format produced by the Adobe Photoshop graphics editor.
