Build interactive viewers for massive bioimaging data

High-performance visualization library for exploring multi-dimensional OME-Zarr datasets right in the browser.

Composable by design

Idetik is not a viewer but a framework for building viewers. Define viewports with your own cameras, controls, and image, volume, or segmentation layers.

OME-Zarr native

Built-in support for N-dimensional, multiscale, multichannel OME-Zarr 0.4/0.5. Point Idetik at a local or remote store, no conversion needed.

Chunk streaming

Chunks are streamed based on what the camera needs at the current zoom, nothing more. Preconfigured policies enable smooth temporal playback.

Built to be extended

Subclass Layer to render your own data and add custom input handlers, or plug in your own data loader. Renderables and overlays are public building blocks.

Get started with your favorite coding agent

Paste the URL of your OME-Zarr image and copy a ready-made prompt for Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. Your agent scaffolds a Vite project, installs Idetik, and renders the image in a single viewport.
