# Dezoomify

[![Dezoomify cover image](./cover.png)](https://ophir.alwaysdata.net/dezoomify/dezoomify.html)

## Download zoomable images

_Dezoomify_ extracts full high-resolution images from online zoomable image interfaces.
It works with several zoomable image tools, from several different websites (see the list below).
It takes as input the URL of a a zoomable image and gives as output an image that you can download (by right-clicking on it, and choosing *Save Image as...*).

In order to find the URL of the zoomable that dezoomify requires, you can install the [**dezoomify browser extension**](https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify-extension/#dezoomify-extension). Alternatively, you can also try to [find the zoomable image URL yourself](https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify/wiki/Dezoomify-FAQ).

## Try it
If you are not interested in the source code and just want to assemble tiles of (dezoomify) a zoomify-powered image, go there : [**unzoomify an image**](https://ophir.alwaysdata.net/dezoomify/dezoomify.html)

## Troubleshooting
#### FAQ
If you have problems while downloading an image, then read the **[FAQ](https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify/wiki/Dezoomify-FAQ)**.
#### Reporting issues
Your bug reports and feature requests are welcome!
Please go the the [Github issue page of the project](https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify/issues),
and explain your problem.
Please be clear, and give the URL of the page containing the image dezoomify
failed to process.

URL, and dezoomify will be able to work with it.

# Programming Languages
The aim of the script is to do as much as possible in _Javascript_ (with the HTML5 `` tag), and only the network-related stuffs on the server side. The only little piece of server-side code that remains in the code is just a proxy, used to circumvent the [same-origin policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy).
We implemented this code both in Javascript ([node-app/proxy.js](node-app/proxy.js)) and PHP ([proxy.php](proxy.php)), so you just need to have either one
on your server to run dezoomify.

## Wikimedia
This script on wikimedia : [Zoomify in the help about zoomable Images on wikimedia](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/Help:Zoomable_images)

## Local development

You can run the script locally, using php:

```bash
# Install the dependencies
sudo apt install php-cli

# Run the script
php -S localhost:3000
```

Then open http://localhost:3000/ in your browser.
