International Image Interoperability Framework
The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is a set of open standards that revolutionizes how digital images are accessed, shared, and studied in digital humanities. By enabling high-resolution zooming, layering, annotation, and cross-institutional comparison, IIIF empowers scholars to work collaboratively with visual materials—from medieval manuscripts to archival photographs—across platforms and repositories. Its flexible APIs foster innovation in research, teaching, and public engagement, making IIIF a cornerstone tool for exploring cultural heritage in digital spaces.
