Image analysis in your browser, no install or macros
Looking for an ImageJ or Fiji alternative that runs in the browser? Conspecta brings AI-assisted measurement to your microscopy images and keeps the results connected to your samples and figures.
Honest comparison
Conspecta vs. ImageJ / Fiji
ImageJ and Fiji are free, open-source, and everywhere in biology. Here is where a connected, browser-based platform fits differently.
| Capability | Conspecta | ImageJ / Fiji |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | No install; runs in any browser on desktop, tablet, or phone | Desktop install (Java); plugins configured per machine |
| Counting & detection | AI counts cells, nuclei, colonies, and particles | Manual thresholding or plugins; macros for batch runs |
| Measurement | Coverage, intensity, marker classification, and colocalization | Full measurement suite via menus and macros |
| Custom models | Label a few examples, train a detector, no code | Requires ML plugins or scripting |
| File formats | LIF, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG open directly | TIFF/PNG native; LIF via the Bio-Formats plugin |
| Where results live | Linked to samples, figures, and your notebook | Exported to CSV; context lives in other tools |
| Collaboration | Shared team workspace, access anywhere | Single-user desktop; share files manually |
| Extensibility | Curated AI analysis tools | Thousands of community plugins, fully scriptable |
When ImageJ or Fiji is still the right choice
ImageJ and Fiji are free, open-source, and endlessly extensible if you are comfortable writing macros and wiring up plugins. That power assumes you want to script your analysis. Conspecta is for the biologists who would rather point and click, with AI analysis that stays connected to their samples, figures, and notebook, and nothing to install.
Why teams switch
What you get with Conspecta
AI object counting
Count cells, nuclei, colonies, or particles with pre-trained models. No thresholding, no macros, point and click.
Train custom detectors
Draw a few examples and train a model that finds your objects in bulk, the ones generic detection misses. No code or plugins.
A full measurement suite
Percent area coverage, marker intensity (mean, median, integrated density), marker-positive fraction, and colocalization, in one workspace.
Multi-channel & z-stack viewer
Open LIF, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG in the browser. Step through channels, z-planes, and time series without a desktop app.
Results that stay connected
Every measurement links to its sample and flows into figures and your notebook, with no copy-paste between tools.
Built for teams
Share results and protocols so everyone works from the same data, not files scattered across laptops.
