EnglishHow do you get started on GIGAmacro and contact the site?
Updated
You can start using viewer.gigamacro.com without creating an account: open the site, browse the Featured Images and Featured Collections on the home page, and select any image to explore it. A Log in link is available when you need account-based features, and the site lists a phone number, +1 (415) 841-3322, plus an email address for contact, alongside Terms and Privacy links.
Getting started
The home page is organized around two entry points: Featured Images and Featured Collections. Both are visible on the landing page, so you can begin exploring immediately.
Browse featured images
Featured Images are individual gigapixel views of small subjects. Examples named on the site include:
- A World of Insects
- Inside the Machine
- Honey Bee (Apis)
- Apollo One
- Kilobit Ferrite Core Memory Module
Select an image to open it in the viewer. The site describes its purpose as exploring, annotating, comparing, and sharing gigapixel imagery of small subjects, so expect the viewer to be the place where those actions happen.
Browse featured collections
Featured Collections group images by subject area. The collections listed on the site are:
| Collection | What it suggests you'll find |
|---|---|
| Forensics | Specimens and evidence-related small subjects |
| Geology | Rock, mineral, and earth-material samples |
| Manufacturing | Components and industrial parts |
| Entomology | Insects and related specimens |
If your interest is a specific field, start with the matching collection rather than scrolling individual images.
Do you need an account?
Not to look around. The Featured Images and Featured Collections are presented on the home page, and the Log in link sits alongside them as a separate option. Use Log in when you want to work with account-based features; the site does not state on this page which features require an account, so treat login as the step to try when a feature prompts you.
Contacting the site
The site provides two direct contact channels:
- Phone: +1 (415) 841-3322
- Email: listed on the site as a contact address (shown on the page as an email link)
Use these for questions the site itself doesn't answer, such as access issues or inquiries about the imagery.
Legal and privacy links
The footer includes Terms and Privacy links. Check these before submitting personal information or relying on the site for anything beyond casual browsing. The footer also carries a copyright notice dated 2026.
