What you get on Google Images

Why it helps on Google Images

Google Images shows you a wall of thumbnails, but the preview panel still makes you click each one to judge resolution and crop. Ultra Zoom pulls the full source image the moment you hover, so you can scan an entire results page and only click through to the ones that are actually high enough quality.

How to use Ultra Zoom on Google Images

  1. Install Ultra Zoom for Chrome or Firefox.
  2. Open images.google.com — Google Images works on the free tier right away, no setup required.
  3. Hover any image to see it at full resolution. Use / for galleries, Z for theater mode, and ? to see every shortcut.
