Why it helps on Wikipedia

Wikipedia articles are full of small inline images that normally take two clicks to see at full size. Ultra Zoom resolves the Commons original on hover, so diagrams, maps, and historical photos are readable without leaving the article.

How to use Ultra Zoom on Wikipedia

  1. Install Ultra Zoom for Chrome or Firefox.
  2. Open wikipedia.org — Wikipedia 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.
