Technical note

Before you convert LIF to IGS

LIF is made of pixels and IGS stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into real lines, arcs and polylines. The result is editable in CAD: entities can be selected, snapped to and measured, rather than a bitmap wrapped inside an IGS container, which is what a viewer or a lightweight converter usually produces. It is still derived geometry, so expect contours rather than a structured drawing. Dimensions, blocks and meaningful layer names were never in the LIF to begin with. Lettering in the image is traced as shapes, not recognised as text. Every character arrives as an outline that can be scaled and edited like any other geometry, but not retyped, restyled or searched, and no font is attached to it. Titles and callouts on a scanned drawing usually have to be typed again in the IGS if they need to stay editable.

I firmly believe working with JPEG — the universal format supported by all devices and apps—is the wisest choice. reaConverter handles these conversions flawlessly.

Security was our top concern when evaluating file conversion tools. reaConverter’s offline mode and role-based access controls let us lock it down for sensitive environments. No unexpected network calls or bloat — just clean, fast conversions. Even passed our pen-testing scans without a hitch.

FAQ

LIF to IGS Conversion

What are LIF files?

Leica LIF (Leica Image Format) is a proprietary microscopy file format developed by Leica Microsystems for storing multidimensional imaging data. It can contain multiple images, channels, time series, and metadata such as acquisition settings and calibration details within a single file. LIF files are widely used in scientific research and imaging workflows, particularly in fluorescence and confocal microscopy.

What are IGS files?

The IGS (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) file format is a standardized CAD data exchange format used to transfer 2D and 3D model data between different CAD systems. Developed in the 1980s, IGES ensures compatibility across various engineering and design software by storing geometric data, annotations, and structure in a neutral ASCII or binary format.
