The Origami Image Viewer is a web-based zooming viewer for high-resolution images. The software consists of two programs: a python program that processes an image into a folder of image tiles, and a highly capable flash-based viewer to be embedded in web pages. Material prepared with the tiling program can be served using a standard web server (usually Apache) as all the computation and image manipulation occurs in the viewer.

In addition to the web viewer, the bound volume viewer allows a user to browse through a organized collection of high-resolution images.
