User reviews
In Zoom is really well executed. At first, I thought I wouldn't like the ability to 'zoom out,' making the image smaller than 100% and being able to move the content around. However, just pressing ESC to reset everything is a very user-friendly feature. Well done!

best zoom tool compared to other alternatives. however, the zoom level would only maintain for about 20-30s when watching youtube videos, other than that its very good
