Scroll to zoom any image on any website. Drag to pan. Double-click to reset. Works on Instagram, Reddit, and everywhere else. Closely: Hover Zoom Images & View Full Size Photos Instantly Closely is a fast, lightweight Chrome image zoom extension built for browsing with fewer tab jumps: pause your cursor briefly over almost any photo, then scroll to zoom the on‑page picture and drag to pan once it’s enlarged smooth hover zoom for thumbnails and full images on feeds, Reddit, Instagram‑style grids, ecommerce, blogs, docs, and more. Inside the zoom overlay, lightweight controls appear as you magnify rotate in 90° steps, download the image, open the asset in a new tab when you want the untouched file path, plus quick resets (double‑click, Escape, or the close button). Inspect fine detail on the canvas of the webpage, tweak orientation before saving, then get back to normal scrolling whenever you reset. Instantly Zoom Images on Any Website Closely is built to work across thousands of websites. It is especially useful on shopping sites where you want to inspect product detail before clicking through. It works equally well on social media platforms, photo galleries, image search results, forums, blogs, and photography communities. Wherever image thumbnails appear, Closely gives you the full picture without extra clicks.

Lightweight and optimized for low memory usage. Key Features Hover Zoom Preview See the full-resolution version of any image by hovering your mouse over it. No clicking required.

Pan Large Images When a full-size image is larger than your screen, move your mouse to explore the image naturally without scrolling the page.

If Closely does not work correctly on a specific site, you can report it and support will be added in a future update.
