How to download full resolution images from an IIPImage server

Ophir LOJKINE edited this page Jan 17, 2020 · 1 revision

IIPImage is a popular zoomable image server.

You can find that a zoomable image uses IIPImage when the individual tiles URLs contain the string iipsrv.fcgi.

  • For instance, it might be http://161.111.171.57/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/Catalogo/Fanerogamia/IMGS_web/IMGS_jp2/MA-01-00252821.jp2&WID=192&QLT=98&CVT=jpeg
  • The full size image can be downloaded by replacing the value of the WID parameter by full.
  • In our example, we get the link to the full size image when we modify the last sections of the URL to http://161.111.171.57/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/Catalogo/Fanerogamia/IMGS_web/IMGS_jp2/MA-01-00252821.jp2&WID=full&QLT=100&CVT=jpeg
