Create IIIF images
Create your own IIIF images without an image server
IIIF is not just for major cultural heritage organisations with dedicated developers and server infrastructure. As of 2023, anyone can create IIIF-compatible images, for free, without access to an image server, by uploading to the Internet Archive.
Before uploading content, ensure that your images are suitable for public re-use, and select the appropriate Creative Commons licence when adding metadata:
The Internet Archive filename, found in the page URL, e.g...
https://archive.org/details/[filename]
...can be added to this string to create a IIIF manifest:
https://iiif.archive.org/iiif/3/[filename]/manifest.json
The manifest can be pasted into any IIIF viewer or editing tool, for enhanced viewing and remixing.
