Simple CLI program to generate deepzoom zoomable tiled images. The input can either be a single image or multiple images of the same height, which are supposed to be consecutive horizontally.

# Create a zoomable image from
# a list of images making up a horizontal panorama

As of writing this, the main advantage of zoomtiler over another tool like deepzoom.py or libvips is that it works with multiple consecutive input images. Meaning, if the huge input image you want to tile into a deepzoom format actually does not exists, but is a horizontal panorama composed many consecutive images, this tool can generate the deepzoom tiles without needing to actually generate the huge panorama first. Another advantage is that it's a 0-dependency, portable executable that you can just download from the latest release.
