iiif-tools

Web tool designed for the Leventhal Map & Education Center to access various IIIF endpoints, and extract image crops and extent coordinate arrays.

iiif-tools will theoretically work with any IIIF Manifest, but it's designed to consume LMEC Digital Collections and Digital Commonwealth URLs: you can paste those directly into the input. The app is built in Vue 3 (updated from Vue 2 in March 2026, with some help from Claude). It uses OpenLayers for manipulating and cropping IIIF images in a canvas.
