What you get on Wikimedia Commons

Why it helps on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons is the go-to for openly licensed images, and the originals are often very high resolution. Ultra Zoom previews the full file on hover so you can confirm an image is sharp enough for print before downloading.

How to use Ultra Zoom on Wikimedia Commons

  1. Install Ultra Zoom for Chrome or Firefox.
  2. Open commons.wikimedia.org — Wikimedia Commons 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.
