# MrSID Support

MrSID offers a solution to the challenges and a toolkit for the opportunities digital imaging presents. Because encoding to MrSID results in a lossless, single-source image, MrSID yields better storage economy, more efficient transfer of data, and improved workflow. A single, highly compressed, high-quality image serves as the source for any data requested from that image, optimized for instant viewing on any device.

This MrSID technology was acquired by LizardTech in its original form from Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL), where it was developed under the aegis of the U.S. government for storing fingerprints for the FBI. LizardTech was formed to commercialize and further develop the technology, and MrSID quickly became the standard for viewing, distributing and storing raster imagery in geographic information system (GIS) environments. MrSID is the technology and image format that all major geospatial software applications support today.
