What Mirador can do for you

Mirador is a configurable, extensible, and easy-to-integrate image viewer, which enables image annotation and comparison of images from repositories dispersed around the world. Mirador has been optimized to display resources from repositories that support the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) API's. Mirador provides several workspaces for comparing image-based resources, suitable for use in both cultural heritage and research settings.

It allows you to:

  • Load images from any IIIF-compliant repositories through manifests
  • Annotate images
  • Rotate and manipulate images
  • Download selected region or entire image
  • Compare images side by side
