Zoom images inline on the current page by holding the middle mouse button down and moving mouse left-right.
Simply click on an image with the middle mouse button and move the mouse left (to zoom out/shrink) or right (to zoom in/enlarge). Release the button when you have the desired image size. (May not work for some images and some web sites.)
Update: the image url and size (in bytes, if can be determined) are now displayed.
Tip: To prevent opening a link associated with the image, move cursor up or down outside of the image.
Note: There'll NEVER be the right mouse button option! Please don't ask! Thank you!
IT WON'T WORK ON LAPTOPS W/O MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON! DUH!

- (2021-08-07) i krg: One of the few zoom extensions working for me. Quickly done by using mouse wheel only. --Issues: Often distorts/warps the images (e.g. at https://www.waz.de) Unfortunately most extensions of this kind come with a problem. Zooming in will not expose the whole image, the magnified image stays covered by the surrounding page area and elements. Thus you rarely see the whole magnified image. But I found an extension avoiding exactly those issues. It's now my final choice: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/image-zoom-and-drag/oehcmjobdahgnbfpbpaeboddkhkfkddi
- (2021-04-08) Lucky Wolf: I really love this Extension, but it seems like this week it stopped working for some reason. Tried removing and adding it back, and still not working. I would love to see this very useful tool working again.
- (2021-03-15) Adrian Speteanu: No idea why the average review score is low... but it has to be wrong. This is a very useful feature and very simple to use, it's very potent and allows me to zoom in on images without modifying the zoom level for the entire website which might be slower on some clunky webpages. Can't believe Chrome doesn't already have an in-built feature that is similar already. I reckon that the mouse shortcut wuold confuse anyone unaware of such a feature at first. Anyway, regardless of why this extension is needed, it is and I'm very thankful that it exists.
- (2021-02-22) John Winslow: It works properly again! Not sure if you fixed it, or Chrome changed something, but it's nice to have this back.
- (2020-11-30) Norbert Cats: useful tools.
- (2020-09-24) Chuck Daniels: Does not maintain aspect ratio. Essentially useless now. Also I can zoom in, and it will stretch the image, and then I zoom out and it does not stretch back- I can't find any way to get it back besides refreshing the page.
- (2020-08-26) Daniel Fonseca: Doesn't work properly, images do not keep aspect ratio.
- (2020-08-16) Lj: No longer works
- (2020-03-14) Scot Ranney: Simply doesn't work with my logitech mouse.
- (2020-01-07) Gilu One: My wheel is the middle mouse button, DUH! Stubborn kids these days...
- (2019-12-23) Sanghyun Park: 내가 자주 사용하는 매우 유용한 확장프로그램이었는데.. 최근부터 갑자기 안되기 시작함... 크롬이 업데이트 되면서 최적화가 날아간듯...
- (2019-12-18) Ivan Ivanov: Simple AF and working fine PS few days ago it stopped zoom on imageboard sites (example) https://konachan.net/post/show/295971/building-city-clouds-nobody-nzwt-original-scenic-s
- (2019-12-13) Cecelia Shea: It used to work great for long while... but now it has completely stop working. I guess Chrome broke something.
- (2019-11-30) Simon Allan: Like others have said, it now stretches images sideways once the max height is reached, but only when you're viewing the image alone and not on a web page. Plugin version 1.7.5, Chrome 78.0.3904.108, Mac OS 10.13.6.
- (2019-09-27) Kenneth Vessels: Used to be awesome. Now it just stretches the image horizontally. Back to FF until this is fixed.
- (2019-09-01) Steve Burton: Used to work great, but now the images stop zooming and start stretching when the max screen dimension is reached...not like before. Probably due to WIN 10 updates, or maybe Chrome itself. In any case, it now sucketh mightily.
- (2019-08-27) Hazama Itsuru: Image won't zoom past the size of the browser window and only stretches horizontally.
- (2019-08-18) Paul Kraft: Zoomer has stopped working for images since latest update Squishes images horizontally and stretches them instead
- (2019-08-15) Alex Gjergjevica: Has recently stopped working. Zooming in stretches the image. There is no other extension that does what this one does, very sad.
- (2019-08-14) LiQuid!: Was the most useful extension and now the latest update destroyed it. It only zooms horizontal now. Desperately need alternative or I'm going back to FF
- (2019-08-12) Jordan M: Most recent update killed it. Zoom only goes to the maximum dimensions of browser and then zooms horizontally only
- (2019-06-28) Gregory: Thanks you to the devs for this one. Been using this for years so often that I installed a new browser and it only took me about 10 seconds to realize I lost the center-click zoom thingy this extension allows. I feel this should just be basic functionality in Chrome but hey, as long as the extension does the trick I'm cool with installing it.
- (2019-05-06) Steven Penoff: If the image has a link attached to it, this doesn't work. So most of the time it doesn't work.
- (2019-05-04) Johnny: Pressing Mouse3 simply opens an image in a new tab. OPTIONS is greyed out too. I guess this extension is dead.
- (2018-12-20) Shteenen666: Nice!
- (2018-12-10) Андрей Б.: Полезная прога, выручает! Но есть существенный недостаток: при увеличении изображения оно съезжает за границы экрана и перетащить его на экран невозможно. Приходится каждый раз открывать изображение в отдельной вкладке, там оно не съезжает за пределы экрана. Точнее съезжает, но двигать его по экрану возможно, есть ползунки.
- (2018-10-09) Konrád Lőrinczi: Middle button sucks. Need right right button + scroll like in Firefox.
- (2018-07-20) Laurent Simon: Indispensable
- (2018-04-26) PONGSAKORN PAi: Great I was surprise.
- (2018-04-08) Alexnkin: Работает.

- (2017-07-12) Cate Jen S: Not work
- (2017-06-06) Sharon Dee: Mouse instructions don't work with a trackball. Uninstalling.
- (2017-05-01) ВАСЯ пупкин: Надо как-то добавить сброс. Например простым двойным кликом по изображению.
- (2017-03-12) David C: Doesn't work for me anymore since switching to Magic Mouse 2 (no middle-click). Would be nice to have some options for button assignment.
- (2017-01-26) Irina Svetlowa: Hi, I am interested in acquiring your extension "ImageZoom". Please contact me at: [email protected]
