Case / Photo zoom

Shoppers look at the product up close — without leaving the product page

In a shop people pick a product up and look at the stitching, the texture, the small print. Online they cannot: if the photo is hard to make out, the shopper leaves to find better pictures — often on someone else’s site.

Here the product photo zooms right where it is: one click and every detail shows, the mouse moves across the shot, another click and the whole photo is back.

2.5×zoom by default; set anywhere from 1.5× to 5× in the admin
1 clickturns zoom on and off — no separate window, no new page to load

Who it is for

For stores where people buy from the photo

Clothing, jewellery, furniture, electronics, packaging with small print — wherever a shopper wants a close look before paying.

Store owner

Fewer exits to “find a better photo” — everything is visible on the product page, next to the buy button.

Content manager

Nothing extra to prepare: the zoom uses the product photo already uploaded, at full size.

Shopper

One click to examine a detail; one more — or just moving the mouse away — to see the whole shot again.

Zoom on the product page

One click — and every detail shows

Over the product photo the cursor turns into a magnifier. A click switches zoom on: the photo grows 2.5 times and the visible part follows the mouse, so the shopper can go over the whole shot. A second click, or moving the mouse off the photo, brings back the full view.

When the whole shot needs to be seen

A button in the corner of the photo opens it full screen — large and free of the page around it. Close it with the cross.

Setup

Four settings — and you are done

Zoom works on every product page at once, no special photos needed. The admin holds only what the owner should decide.

Zoom settings in the admin: enabled, scale 2.5, expand button, magnifier cursor
  • On or off. for the whole site or a single version
  • Scale. from 1.5× to 5×; 2.5× by default
  • Full-screen button. whether to show it in the corner of the photo
  • Cursor style. magnifier, crosshair or hand
Checked on the live site

The numbers come from this site, not from a slide

  • We clicked a product photo on a desktop in the English and the Russian version: 2.5× zoom switched on and the visible part followed the mouse.
  • A second click and moving the mouse away brought back the full view; the corner button opened the shot full screen.
  • On a phone the magnifier is off by itself: tapping the photo does not switch it on, and the page shows no errors.
