# Create IIIF images

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](https://archive.org/upload). 

Before uploading content, ensure that your images are suitable for public re-use, and select the appropriate Creative Commons licence when adding metadata:

<figure><img src="/files/Wllb1SvKXnmAqoi6NlSR" alt=""><figcaption><p>The Internet Archive's <a href="https://archive.org/upload">upload interface</a></p></figcaption></figure>

The Internet Archive filename, found in the page URL, e.g...

**<https://archive.org/details/>**<mark style="color:red;">**\[filename]**</mark>

...can be added to this string to create a IIIF manifest:

**<https://iiif.archive.org/iiif/3/>**<mark style="color:red;">**\[filename]**</mark>**/manifest.json**&#x20;

The manifest can be pasted into any IIIF viewer or editing tool, for enhanced viewing and remixing.
