A lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library that zooms images on click, mimicking Medium's image zoom behavior. It supports responsive scaling, HD image loading on zoom, keyboard/gesture dismissal, and event handling.
Use cases
- add medium-style image zoom to a blog
- make images clickable and zoomable on a static site
- load high-resolution image when user zooms
- accessible lightbox with keyboard and scroll to close
- zoom images in a vanilla javascript site without dependencies
When to choose
- you want a tiny, zero-dependency image zoom effect
- you need Medium-like UX with events and HD image swapping
- you want framework-agnostic code usable in React, Vue, or plain HTML
When to avoid
- you need a full lightbox with galleries, captions, and thumbnails
- you need zoom/pan on image regions rather than whole-image zoom
- your project requires a maintained framework-specific component
