CZI files can be found as special images saved by Zeiss CZI microscopes. They contain the image with additional metadata. CZI files are supported by software for devices running Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. ImageJ supports CZI files and is the most frequently used program to handle such files.

The CZI file format combines imaging data with relevant metadata in one file. It was developed by ZEISS to meet microscopy imaging requirements. The format can save time lapse, Z-stacks, multiposition experiments and virtual slides. A growing number of projects and companies use and support CZI files.
