A tiny (0.7 kB gzipped) JavaScript library that wraps the browser Fullscreen API, normalizing vendor-prefixed implementation differences. It lets web developers request, exit, and toggle fullscreen mode for the page or any element with a simple, consistent API.

Use cases

• make a webpage go fullscreen with a button click
• toggle fullscreen on an image or video element
• hide mobile navigation UI when entering fullscreen
• avoid writing cross-browser fullscreen vendor prefix code
• check whether fullscreen is supported before requesting it

When to choose

• you need reliable cross-browser fullscreen behavior in a web app
• you want a tiny dependency-free-feeling ESM utility instead of hand-rolled vendor prefix handling
• you need to fullscreen arbitrary DOM elements, not just the page

When to avoid

• you need to support iPhone Safari, which does not support the Fullscreen API
• you need new features beyond the current API, since the package is feature-complete
• you cannot use ESM and don't want to pin the older 5.2.0 version
