## What it is
dezoomify-rs is a desktop application and CLI tool written in Rust that downloads high-resolution zoomable (tiled) images from websites and stitches the tiles back into a single image. It supports multiple zoomable image formats including Zoomify, DeepZoom, IIIF, Google Arts & Culture, Krpano, IIPImage, and NYPL, with configurable output formats.

## Use cases
- download high-resolution images from Google Arts & Culture
- download zoomable tiled images from museum websites
- stitch Zoomify tiles into a single image
- download IIIF images from digital libraries
- download DeepZoom (DZI) images used with Seadragon viewers
- save large zoomable images that browsers can't handle
- bypass HTTP header restrictions when downloading image tiles

## When to choose
- you need to download very large zoomable images that the online dezoomify tool can't handle
- the target site requires specific HTTP headers to serve image tiles
- you want a choice of output image formats beyond PNG
- you need support for IIIF, DeepZoom, Zoomify, or Google Arts & Culture sources
- you want a cross-platform desktop tool or CLI for batch image downloading

## When to avoid
- you only need a quick one-off download of a small zoomable image and prefer a browser-based tool
- you need to download regular (non-tiled) images or videos
- you want a GUI-only workflow with no command-line involvement
- downloading the images would violate the source site's terms of service or copyright
