PixelZoomer Firefox

PixelZoomer

PixelZoomer takes a screenshot of the current website and provides various tools for pixel analysis. You can zoom into websites (up to 3200%), measure distances and pick colors with an eye dropper.

Features & Capabilities

PixelZoomer is a powerful Firefox extension designed for web developers who need pixel-perfect precision. It captures a screenshot of the current website and enables zooming up to 3200% without any anti-aliasing, ensuring crisp rendering of pixels. With PixelZoomer, developers can accurately measure distances between elements and pick colors using an integrated eye dropper that outputs HEX codes.

This tool simplifies the web development workflow by eliminating the need to export screenshots to external image editors for analysis. By analyzing sizes and distances directly in the browser, PixelZoomer streamlines design verification and pixel-level inspections. Since version 2.0.0, it supports Firefox's Electrolysis (e10s) as a WebExtension for enhanced compatibility and performance. For additional details and demonstrations, visiting the PixelZoomer website is recommended.

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.
