• upload an image
• get image thumbs
• extract image tiles
• extract crops

• Pyramidal TIFF (.tif)
• Planar TIFF (.tif)
• JP2000 (.jp2)
• JPEG (.jpg)
• PNG (.png)
• PGM (.pgm)
• DICOM (.dcm)
• BMP (.bmp)
• Aperio (.svs)
• Hamamatsu (.vms, .ndpi)
• Leica (.scn)
• MIRAX (.mrxs)
• Philips (.tiff)
• Sakura (.svslide)
• Ventana (.bif, .tif)
• Huron TIFF (.tif)
• Photoshop TIFF (.tif)
• CZI TIFF (.tif)
• Cell Sens VSI (.vsi)
