Convert High Resolution Images To Flash And Embed in Your Website
A few days back we showed you a way to embed large images or screenshots in webpages. The procedure involved using a desktop tool to split the image in multiple portions.Then a flash version of the image was created which needs to be hosted on your website for the embedding to work.
But if you want a simpler option to convert high resolution images to flash and then embed them in your blog posts or template, try Zoom.it. It’s an online tool which lets you enter the URL of an image and turns it into a Flash object. You are also given an embed code which can be used to embed the image anywhere in your site. Sharing the image is made easy using a Short URL.
Zoom.it converts the image to DeepZoom format and lets you explore to different areas of the image quite easily. Check out the following example for a demo:
The advantage of using a Zoomed image is that users can easily navigate around the image and read the text easily. Zoom.it also lets you create a full page screenshot of any webpage, just enter http://zoom.it/?url=http://yoursite.com in the browser address bar (example). Neat !
