TilePic

TilePic is a file format, and associated software, developed by the Berkeley Digital Library Project. It is a relatively simple container format for tiled graphics. The tiles can have arbitrary image formats. There is apparently a portable way to use it with JPEG format.

The format (or a profile of it) is sometimes called Tiled JPEG File.
