Build Status

Bio-Formats is a standalone Java library for reading and writing life sciences image file formats. It is capable of parsing both pixels and metadata for a large number of formats, as well as writing to several formats.

Purpose

Supported formats

Bio-Formats supports more than a hundred file formats.

For users

Many software packages use Bio-Formats to read and write microscopy formats.

You can use Bio-Formats to easily support these formats in your software.
