Image service

An image service is a digital platform that provides access to, displays, and manages visual content such as maps, photographs, or drawings over the internet. It allows users to view, zoom, and interact with images dynamically, often supporting features like layering and annotations. Image services are commonly used in geographic information systems (GIS) for map visualization or in online galleries for image sharing. They optimize image delivery for performance and quality, enabling users to access complex visual data efficiently without needing to download large files.
