Smooth scroll-to-zoom (to any level) and drag-to-pan for images, GIFs, and videos opened directly in a tab.

Features & Capabilities

Media Magnifier replaces Firefox's image and video viewer with a zoom-and-pan tool.

Scroll to zoom smoothly toward your cursor (to any zoom level), then click and drag to pan. It works automatically on standalone media, and on media embedded in any web page via a right-click "Magnify media" menu item.

Features:

  • Smooth scroll-to-zoom toward the cursor, to any zoom level
  • Click-and-drag panning; videos keep playing while you zoom and pan
  • Works on images, animated GIFs, and videos
  • Automatic on media opened directly in a tab; right-click "Magnify media" anywhere else
  • Keyboard shortcuts: +/- to zoom, 1-9 to jump to 100%-900%, 0 or F to fit, arrow keys to pan, P to toggle pixelated rendering for inspecting individual pixels
  • No data collection, no tracking, no network requests

Press H or ? while viewing media to see the full list of shortcuts.

Is Media Magnifier Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Media Magnifier requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Media Magnifier is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
