How do I split this huge image 15104 * 11264

Question

Paint.net dies opening this image, and MS paint as well.I don't know how to open this file for editing.Actually, I set out to break this image (its a map of my area) and load it to my phone (moto rokr e6),which does not have a GPS at the moment.

TileMage is giving up the splitting as well, throwing out of memory exception !.

I know photoshop could do it, but I don't have the licence for it. Any freeware application to do this.

Can GIMP do it ?

Please advise. Thanks,

Answer 1

ImageMagick should be able to handle an image this large. convert is what you'd use. Just don't expect it to happen particularly quickly.

Answer 2

You can use imagemagick's stream command instead of convert. It uses only little RAM no matter how large the image is: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8756798/1034454
