By interactive, I mean the software should provide capability to pan/zoom parts of the images just like how Google Maps are displayed.

I have some very large images (with resolution more than 10000x15000).

Typical image viewers load images entirely in memory, but for very large images zooming/viewing of specific portions is required.

Vliv is one such software but it only support TIFF format.

Update: Although not exactly a desktop software, Panojs is a perfect fit for above purpose. One need to create a HTML web app (which can used locally as well as deployed on a webserver).

You do realize that Google Maps doesn't work like this? – Daniel Beck Mar 1 at 7:00

"Before you can create an application that uses Deep Zoom, you must create a Deep Zoom image." But perhaps the OP can live with this. – RedGrittyBrick Jan 17 at 14:41
@Nik, "Deep Zoom" is a web app, A similar service is "Google Maps Image APIs". I was looking for a desktop application (for offline viewing) – akjain Jan 18 at 6:35

There is a web app called Zoom.it that works quite well for this.
