Description

Photo Zoom is a browser extension that helps you quickly view the "full-size picture" corresponding to the thumbnails on the page. Just hover your mouse over the thumbnail to display the corresponding high-resolution image. Currently supported websites include Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and many other websites, and the smart photo-view script will be continuously updated. ● Rich shortcut key operations: Switch view mode: A (auto) / M (mini) / I (moderate) / P (panoramic) Switch to the last used view mode: V View high-resolution images in a new tab: Tab Save high resolution pictures: S Copy high resolution picture address: C Close the picture preview window: Esc Rotate the picture counterclockwise: Shift + Ctrl + ← Rotate the picture clockwise: Shift + Ctrl + → Up / Right / Down / Left Scroll the picture ↑ / → / ↓ / ←: Scroll the picture up/down according to the visual height of the picture: PgUp / PgDown Scroll to the top / bottom of the picture: Home / End ● Personalized setting options: Open or close a website separately: Use the shortcut key “ALT+S” to close or open the current website. Control photo display mode: You can use Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys to coordinate the display of pictures when the mouse is moved over. Display original photo size: Set whether to display the high-definition image size in the photo preview window. Show photo title: Set whether to display the picture ruler title in the photo preview window. Special effect display: set the animation that appears in the photo preview window. All settings will be automatically saved, remember the last settings, no need to reset each time. ● Regarding photo loading speed:   Photo Zoom will try to get the largest size of the original photo corresponding to the thumbnail. Therefore, when your network environment is poor or the size of the original photo is too large, the photo loading may be slow. ● About the smart script for view photo: This extension currently integrates smart scripts for view photo of multiple websites and will continuously update. If you encounter a website that cannot display large photo, you can contact us to provide smart support by leaving a message.

Does not actually provide any zoom-in function. It can zoom out, label an image with its size and title, and perform the same function as you'd get from right-clicking on an image and saving it the normal way.

Dude it doesn't zoom anything... just shows the exact image above the other. even in the settings there's no option that enables zooming.. should be named image viewer instead

Screw cloudflare verification and other sites. If solved, I will update review.

It's alright. But there's not an option to block sites under extension options! You can only manually add the site when you're on it after clicking on the extension icon. Additionally, it oddly makes it hard to pass human verification! It'll continuously reload even after a successful check off. I have to turn the extension off before I enter a site that requires it.

CAUSES CLOUDFLARE VERIFICATION LOOP ERROR! sadly works really well on Instagram though

The Cloudflare loop this extension creates is really annoying. I primarily use the extension for the image save shortcut to save a bit of time gathering reference material. But since Cloudflare is on so many sites now, the loop you are stuck in unless you deactivate the extension is not fun to deal with constantly.

Well it does work a tad better than Photo Show, but it has the same limitations. It won't show the LINKED large image from pages with thumbs. It will ONLY zoom the thumb itself. We have to manually visit the thumb linked page to get it to zoom that linked image if it really is bigger than our actual screen resolution. Otherwise it won't zoom anything either. The only plus over PhotoShow is that it centers the zoomed image instead of using remaining screen space. But because of the thumb zoom limitation and not actually showing the linked image. I'm giving it a 3-star rating just like PhotoShow.

This extension has potential but sadly lacks the finesse to make it truly useful. For example, the zoomed image is the same size as the original and even if you change it in the settings, it still doesn't provide a big enough zoomed image. So far I've only used this on Amazon and although the corresponding high-resolution image is clearly available manually, this extension is not showing it to me. Needs more work if it's ever to equal the abilities of an old favourite called 'IMAGEUS' which many of you will know has recently stopped working in Chrome.

Shame... It works far smoother than Imgur but sadly it doesn't operate with eBay. Also, it doesn't allow for enlarging images, it enlarges them only to a set size according to the given size of the image itself. I would love for this extension to be updated, and more frequently to both increase its functionality as well as include commonly used websites, but it doesn't seem to be done. The last update was in January of 2022.

It removed video controls on Twitter. This add-on is the best add-on in all browsers, and I was hoping that it would work with Twitter without problems, but unfortunately I stopped it temporarily until the developer finds a solution to this problem.
