How to use dezoomify's generic dezoomer ?

Creating the dezoomify generic dezoomer URL template

1. While on the webpage you want to extract an image from, open your browser's developer tools.

2. Inside the developer tools, open the network inspector.

On firefox, you can open the network inspector directly:

3. Zoom on the image until you reach the maximal zoom level

4. Right-click on one of the latest lines that should have appeared in the network inspector and choose copy link address.

5. Paste the URL you copied into dezoomify. The URL you pasted should contain parameters, in the form of an ampersand (&), followed by a name, followed by an equal sign (=), followed by a value. You will have to guess which of the parameters is for the x coordinate, and which is for the y coordinate. Usually, their names are quite explicit, such as x and y. Once you found them, change their values (the number after the = and before the next &) with {{X}} and {{Y}} respectively. For instance, if the original URL was http://example.com/tiles?x=34&y=75, change it to http://example.com/tiles?x={{X}}&y={{Y}}.

6. Click submit.
7. Once the image is fully downloaded (this can take several minutes), right-click on it and choose Save as.
