Image Zoom Controls

Zoom into screenshots for precision annotation and inspection.

The View tab in the ribbon has four zoom buttons. Keyboard shortcuts and scroll wheel also work. The current zoom percentage is shown live in the properties bar below the canvas.

How to use it

Ribbon buttons (View tab)

Button Action
+ Zoom in ×1.25 per click
Zoom out ×1.25 per click
Fit Reset to fit-to-canvas view
1:1 Actual pixel size, centered

Keyboard shortcuts

While the canvas is focused:

Key Action
Ctrl++ / Ctrl+= Zoom in
Ctrl+- Zoom out
Ctrl+0 Actual size (1:1)
Ctrl+1 Fit to canvas
Ctrl+Scroll Zoom anchored to cursor position

Zoom percentage

The current zoom level (e.g. “125%”) is shown in the properties bar below the canvas. It updates in real time for all zoom inputs: buttons, keyboard, and scroll wheel.

Tips & gotchas

  • Zoom state resets when you switch to a different capture.
  • At 1:1 on a large screenshot the image extends beyond the viewport — scroll to navigate.
  • Ctrl+Scroll anchors zoom to the point under your cursor — useful for zooming into a specific detail without losing your place.
