Demo Project: This is a proof-of-concept demonstrating how to quickly build an interesting prototype using Leaflet and libvips for on-demand tile rendering of gigapixel images.
An interactive tile-based viewer for large images. Gigaview allows you to load and view images of any size using an efficient tiling system that only loads visible portions of the image.
Select an image from the list to start viewing.
📌 Format Recommendations:
For very large images (aka gigapixel images), TIFF format is recommended. TIFF files work efficiently with memory-mapped access, allowing processing without loading entire files into memory.
