If you don’t want to install any software on your computer at all, then you can use a free online service called Zamzar to convert MDI to PDF, TIFF and many other formats. Open an MDI file and then click File – Save As.

Download, install it and then run the program. Free MDI Image Viewer is a tiny freeware program that lets you view MDI files and save them out into other image formats. If you don’t like the command line, you can use a third-party program to convert the MDI to TIFF for you. Mdi2tif.exe -source c:\mdifiles -dest c:\output -subfolders If you have a bunch of MDI file to convert, then you might want to use a slightly longer command like this: There are other parameters you can use, but the only ones that are of interest are dest and subfolders. If you don’t add any more parameters, it will look for filename.mdi in the modiconv folder, convert it and output the file in the same directory. The above command uses the source parameter and gives the name of the file. If you do this, it will make the command you have to type very simple. I would suggest simply taking your MDI files and copying them into the C:\Program Files(x86)\modiconv folder before using the tool. Once there, you can type in mdi2tif – help to see how to use the program. Once you download and install it, open a command prompt and navigate to the install directory by typing in the following command: Microsoft has a free tool called the MDI to TIFF File Converter, which is a simple command line tool. If you want to convert the MDI file to another format like TIFF or PDF, you don’t necessarily need to use MODI. If you can get your hands on an Office 2007 DVD, then you can run the install, choose Customize and do the same thing as shown above. The other way to install MODI with Office 2010 is to use older Office 2007 media.

When you go to install it, however, you deselect everything except for Microsoft Office Document Imaging like shown below. It’s a free download and comes bundled with MODI. The first way is to simply download a free download from Microsoft called SharePoint Designer 2007. If you have Office 2010 installed, you can still install MODI, but you’ll have to use older media in order to install it.

You can open the BMP file and then save it out in a different format like TIFF using MODI.

This will install MODI and you can now use it to scan, view, annotate and OCR documents. Now expand Office Tools, click on the drop down menu next to Microsoft Office Document Imaging and select Run All From My Computer. Make sure Add/Remove Features is selected and then click on Continue.
