When you say ImageMagick (note the "k"), do you mean the library, the Perl bindings (Image::Magick in PerlMagick) or the command line tools? What's special about GD and ImageMagick that disqualifies them?

Google finds a few tools.

Not installed on the shared server :(

So install one. It's not like you need special privileges.

Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Gimp, or one of the example painting applications that came with the OS or the office package. It does not make sense to download a 10 Mbytes 5000x5000 pixel image just to show a 20x20 pixel piece.

<div style="width: 20px; height: 20px; overflow: hidden">
<img src="http://promote.pair.com/i/pair-banner-current.gif">
</div>
[download]

Catch 1: The image must be in a block element.
Catch 2: The whole image is still downloaded.

Thanks, I tried a couple of CSS tricks but not "overflow: hidden".

Still, I'm not getting the desired because the entire width of the image is displayed.

I'm trying to display the image in parts to show a game's progress. Imagine the image is sliced into neat pieces of 10 px by 10px. So if the game is at stage 1, the first 10px x 10px is displayed, starting from x=0 and y=0. At stage 2, the next (moving rightward first), the next 10px by 10px is displayed to show the progress.

Any more help or pointers will be appreciated :)

But thats not google
