Hover-to-zoom on Medium

Full-size images and diagrams in Medium articles, on hover. Ultra Zoom enlarges Medium images the instant you hover — no clicks, no tabs, no tracking. Medium hover zoom is part of the free tier.

What you get on Medium

Why it helps on Medium

Medium renders inline images at the column width of the article, which makes any screenshot of code or a dashboard unreadable without clicking into the lightbox. Ultra Zoom fetches the author’s original upload on hover, so you can read the diagram in place and keep scrolling.

How to use Ultra Zoom on Medium

  1. Install Ultra Zoom for Chrome or Firefox.
  2. Open medium.com — Medium 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.
