Spectroscopy File Converter - SPC to CSV, Excel & JCAMP-DX

Our converter currently supports the following input formats:

• SPC - Thermo Galactic SPC format commonly used by many spectroscopy instruments
• JCAMP-DX - An industry standard for spectral data (Coming soon)
• CSV - Comma-separated values format (Coming soon)
• TXT - Tab or space-delimited text files (Coming soon)

And can convert to these output formats:

• CSV - Comma-separated values, compatible with spreadsheet software
• XLSX - Microsoft Excel format, includes formatted data and chart
• TXT - Tab-delimited text format
• JSON - JavaScript Object Notation format, ideal for web applications
• JDX - JCAMP-DX format, compatible with most spectroscopy software

Using our spectroscopy file converter is simple:

1. Drag and drop your spectroscopy file onto the upload area or click "Browse Files" to select a file
2. Wait a moment while the file is processed
3. Once processed, you'll see a preview of the spectrum and data
4. Click the "Export As" button to convert and download the file in your desired format
5. You can switch between the Preview, Data, and Metadata tabs to view different aspects of your file

The tool will automatically extract metadata from your file, display a visual representation of the spectrum, and show a preview of the data points.

Metadata in spectroscopy files refers to additional information that describes the conditions and parameters under which the spectral data was collected. This can include:

• Instrument information (manufacturer, model, serial number)
• Acquisition parameters (scan rate, resolution, integration time)
• Sample information (name, preparation method, concentration)
• Date and time of data collection
• Operator information
• Processing methods applied to the data

This metadata is crucial for reproducibility, quality control, and proper interpretation of the spectral data. Our converter preserves as much of this metadata as possible when converting between formats, ensuring that important contextual information is not lost during the conversion process.

Yes, we take data privacy and security seriously:

• All file processing occurs in your browser and on our secure server
• Files are only temporarily stored during the conversion process
• All uploaded files and generated outputs are automatically deleted after processing
• We do not store, share, or analyze your spectral data or metadata
• No registration or account is required to use the service

The tool is designed for scientists who need quick, convenient file conversion while maintaining data confidentiality.

There are several common reasons for converting spectroscopy files:

• Software compatibility - Different analysis software may require specific file formats
• Data sharing - Collaborators may need formats compatible with their systems
• Publication requirements - Journals might require specific formats for supplementary data
• Data analysis - Converting to CSV/Excel for statistical analysis or custom processing
• Long-term storage - Converting proprietary formats to standardized ones for archiving
• Integration - Incorporating spectral data into databases or LIMS systems

Our converter simplifies these workflows by providing instant, accurate conversion between commonly used spectroscopy file formats without requiring specialized software installation.
