Free Online Image Viewer

[Micah]

I'm looking for a free image viewer that I can load high res images (5-40 meg) files into for online display. I have very detailed images that I want users to be able to zoom into and navigate within without having to download a huge file or wait several minutes for it to load. I've looked into mapki a bit but I have very little programming experience and really don't have the time to spend messing around in Javascript. Does anyone know of a free viewer that is relatively simple to load images into and easy for users to use?

I don't understand, "Load into"? You mean an image viewer, or something to compress images/change formats so that they may be easily uploaded?

Try Google Picasa 2 - or Irfanview.

Just a viewer. Ideally, I would upload a picture to the server and the viewer would dislpay it and allow navigation and zooming. I'm hoping to put this on my website, so I can install scripts or whatever is necessary. I'd prefer to host it on my server and not link to an outside tool.

You mean something like a picture gallery?

If you've got some/any java script experience, look at :

The author includes all of the information you need, including the python utility to break the image down into various-sized grids. That process will need to be run on every map/image you plan on viewing.

Thanks for the help. This is similar to what I was hoping for. I have a series of very detailed postcard images that I want users to be able to navigate within via a page on my website, so this helps. Bummer you can only see one tile at a time though.
