LizardTech is a private company focused on publishing innovative software that provides users of all levels instant access to digital images and multimedia content. This includes maps, aerial photographs, satellite imagery, animation, photographic archives, engineering drawings, and large documents using CD ROM, local area networks, and the Internet.

LizardTech offers the most advanced image compression on the market today. Its image compression software, called MrSID (Multi-Resolution Seamless Image Database), was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) by the same team that developed the current FBI standard for fingerprint image compression. MrSID has been developed specifically for customers who have extremely large file sizes (Gb and Tb), need incredibly fast access to their images, and also who do not want a noticeable loss in image quality. One of its key features is selective decompression which makes it ideal for Internet-based access to large digital imagery.
