Automatically slice long images into smaller vertical pieces

Takes a long image, such as a tall screenshot, and cuts it into smaller vertical slices sized to fit.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each vertical section.

The problem it solves

You have a long image, like a full-page screenshot or a scanned document, that's too tall to print, post, or view properly in one piece. Manually cropping it into sections in an image editor is slow and easy to get wrong.

Who it fits

Anyone who regularly needs to break long screenshots, scans, or graphics into properly sized pieces.

How it works

  1. A long image is sent in for processing
  2. The system measures its dimensions
  3. It calculates how many vertical sections are needed based on a maximum height
  4. Each section is cropped out as its own image
  5. The slices are saved to disk in order
What you get

Long images split into perfectly sized pieces

Any long image or screenshot gets cut into neatly sized pieces automatically, ready to use wherever you need them.

What you get

A set of numbered image files, each a properly sized vertical slice of the original.

What you need

Access to a file storage location where the images are read from and saved to.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
