 We would like to apply to become an embed provider on WordPress.com.

 As requested, here are the answers based on the questions from the
 WordPress Documentation site.
 https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/embedding-on-wordpress-com/

 **1. How many active monthly users does your service have?**
 It fluctuates between 3.1K to 17K, depending on the contents and how the
 creators promote their work.

 Case in point: Twitch Atlas Vol. 2. Work like this typically draws a lot
 of traffic with the help of social media.

 **2. Do you have a WordPress.org plugin?**
 We do have a plugin for WordPress but not on WordPress.org.

 **[What We Do]**

 Zoomable is an image conversion service that turns high-resolution image
 (3000 x 3000 px and beyond) into a zoomable image. The zoomable experience
 invites users to examine the image in greater details.

 Our service is mentioned in a few wiki entries such as Deep Zoom (the
 technology that our service is based on), Seadragon Sofware, and Image
 Composite Editor. Although we don't have a designated page on Wiki, we
 have an entry on Crunchbase.

 Our service caters to a variety of sectors, with strong user base in the
 creative and cultural sector. We have showcased some of our users on our
 website. https://zoomable.ca/sites_using_zoomable.html

 We believe our service will provide an additional tool for the creators to
 showcase their work easily on WordPress.com.

 We look forward to hearing from you. Please let us know if there are areas
 that we need to work on to make this request feasible.

 Thank you for your time.
