Pixel-art zoom

Zoom on pixel-art without the blurriness
What is Pixel-art zoom?
'Pixel-art Zoom' is a unique Chrome extension that empowers users to zoom into low-resolution images, particularly pixel-art, with optimal clarity and true dimensions. It features a user-friendly interface allowing the user to easily turn it on/off for an image and resize by simple click-dragging. To maintain the true essence of the artwork, it also automatically snaps to dimensions that are multiples of the original size. The snap-to feature can be disabled as per user convenience.

Extension summary

Sometimes the low resolution makes it impossible to see an image... And if you try CTRL,+/- it will just get blurry. This tool allows you to zoom on an image, on its own page or on any page.

~ Use the context menu to toggle it for an image ~ You can then resize it by click-dragging ~ It will snap to dimensions that are multiples of the original size, to prevent pixel distortion (this feature can be disabled)

Feedback is welcome as this is my first extension ! Hope it will be useful !
