Technical note

What changes when you convert SCN to WEBP

SCN is a pyramidal whole-slide image: one file carries the same scanned slide at several magnifications, and the largest level can run past 100,000 pixels on a side. WEBP holds a single flat picture at one resolution. That makes the magnification the decisive choice, because there is no sensible original size to fall back on here: the full-resolution level of a slide scan is larger than most image software will open at all. SCN and WEBP both compress by discarding data, so this is a re-encode rather than a copy. The output is built from already-compressed pixels, and the artefacts of the first encode are carried into the second. Use a high quality setting, and convert from the original whenever you still have it.

reaConverter handles straightforward SCN-to-TIFF/JPEG conversions efficiently, which is helpful for sharing slides with collaborators who don’t have Leica software. The interface is user-friendly, and I’ve had no issues with standard brightfield images.

I regularly work with Leica SCN files in my pathology lab, and reaConverter has been a lifesaver when I need to convert them to TIFF or JPEG for collaboration. The batch processing feature saves me so much time, and the output quality remains excellent, no loss of detail even at high magnifications. The software is intuitive, and I appreciate that it preserves metadata during conversion. Highly recommended for digital pathology workflows!

FAQ

SCN to WEBP Conversion

What are SCN files?

The Leica SCN file format is a proprietary digital pathology image format used primarily by Leica Microsystems for storing high-resolution whole-slide images (WSI) generated by their slide scanners, such as those in the Leica Aperio series. These files are commonly used in histology, pathology, and biomedical research for viewing, analyzing, and sharing scanned tissue samples.

What are WEBP files?

WebP is an image file format released by Google in 2010 with the aim of challenging the leading positions of JPG and PNG in the domain of storing and transferring digital images. The purpose of the WebP format is to improve the speed of browsing by offering the same quality as JPEG or PNG, but in a smaller size. WebP images can contain both lossy and lossless compression. They continue, however, to be incompatible with some image viewers and browsers, and are often described by analysts as "work in progress" — a format that still needs to be developed.
