About MrSID™
MrSID™ is much more than a simple compressor, it is a comprehensive imaging environment that will enhance your workflow from beginning to end. No longer is high-resolution imagery synonymous with huge data files. Now you can create, display, explore, manipulate, distribute, archive and print high quality imagery in a truly portable format, the MrSID™ Portable Image Format™.

Creating MrSID™ images is effortless with the stand-alone MrSID™ Compressor. Image conversion is easy and you have complete control of compression ratios, image quality and metadata content. MrSID's™ patented mosaicing feature automatically mosaics hundreds of image tiles of virtually any size into a single, seamless MrSID™ image that is geometrically and geographically accurate with all georeferencing data intact.

The resulting MrSID™ image is true to the original in quality and accuracy and can be opened in most GIS software providing a world of powerful image handling capabilities never experienced before in geospatial applications. Suddenly, massive images of unlimited size can be instantaneously panned and zoomed locally and over networks.

Zooming with MrSID™ is unlike anything you've zoomed before because with each click of the mouse the image quality gets better instead of worse. MrSID's™ speed is attributed to LizardTech's™ patented pixels-on-demand feature delivering only the exact amount of pixels necessary to display or print the portion of the image requested at the optimal resolution of the monitor or output device. This optimises your workflow by eliminating wasted data transfers, speeding up transfer times and dramatically decreasing storage requirements. Now, a 16-gigabyte image will fit on a single CD allowing imagery to be easily used in field situations.

The MrSID™ Image Server™ enables you to conveniently serve massive, high-resolution imagery from your website, fast! No longer do you have to compromise image quality or file size to accommodate low Internet bandwidth limitations. MrSID™ images of virtually any size or resolution can be viewed and distributed quickly and easily over the Internet - and your customers can view your images with any standard web browser.
