What does HackerNews think of dezoomify?

Dezoomify is a web application to download zoomable images from museum websites, image galleries, and map viewers. Many different zoomable image technologies are supported.

Language: JavaScript

You can download higher resolution versions of the notebook pages by using a dezoooming tool[1] on the image tiles.

This example[2] generates a 4898×7711 png compared to a 1270×2000 jpg from the download link[3].

For those who would be interested in downloading the picture, or other images using the same technology, I maintain a set of opensource zoomable image downloaders :

- dezoomify : https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify (a browser-based tool that recreates the image as an HTML5 canvas. Limited by the maximal size of canvases in browsers)

- dezoomify-rs : https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify-rs (a command-line utility that can download larger images, including the one presented in this post)

- dezoomify-extension: https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify-extension/ (a browser extension that finds zoomable images in web pages and allows downloading them with dezoomify)

If you are passionate about high-resolution art and know javascript or rust, you can come contribute !

dezoomify [1] does all that for most common tileset formats.
