## Description

**Magnifier** helps you see small text, object details, street signs, menus, departure boards, and other hard-to-read content using your phone’s camera. Zoom in as needed, capture photos for later viewing, and search for specific words before or after taking a picture.

Improve readability with visual effects that enhance low-contrast text, while automatic brightness adjustment helps in dim environments. Magnifier can also be launched quickly with Pixel’s Quick tap gesture. The app requires a Pixel 5 or newer device.
