Features
Real-time High-Performance Screen Magnification
ZoomGlass utilizes hardware acceleration technology to magnify the screen in real-time. You can freely adjust the magnification from 1x to 10x, and the magnified view smoothly follows your mouse movements. It provides a seamless screen magnification experience with a high-speed update rate configurable from 30fps to 120fps.
Multiple Magnifier Shapes
You can choose the magnifier shape to suit your work environment. Optimize screen visibility by choosing from circular, rectangular, or triangular shapes. Each shape is freely resizable from 100px to 800px.
Precision Crosshair Feature
It provides a crosshair feature for pixel-level precision work. You can finely adjust the color, length, and thickness of the crosshair, making it useful for design alignment or verifying the exact position of UI elements during coding.
Two Position Modes
Mouse Tracking Mode: The magnifier automatically follows the mouse cursor, and you can adjust its distance from the cursor. Suitable for dynamic tasks.
Fixed Position Mode: You can fix the magnifier to a specific position on the screen. Ideal for tasks requiring continuous monitoring of one area. The preview function before fixing allows you to find the optimal position.
Customizable Rendering Settings
You can adjust the rendering quality to match your work environment and PC specifications. Choose between sharp or smooth magnified views with three quality options: Low (highest speed), Medium (balanced), and High (highest quality), along with an image smoothing feature.
Transparency and Border Customization
Adjust the magnifier window’s transparency from 30% to 100% to view the background screen simultaneously. Freely set border styles (None, Thin, Normal, Thick) and colors to enhance visibility.
Auto-Save Settings
All settings are automatically saved immediately upon change, allowing you to continue working in the same environment on the next launch. The settings reset function allows you to revert to the default state at any time.
Hotkey Support
Set global hotkeys to quickly control ZoomGlass even while working on other tasks. You can start and stop screen magnification using only the keyboard, ensuring an uninterrupted workflow.
Full Multi-Monitor Support
It works perfectly even in environments with multiple monitors. It automatically detects and corrects the DPI settings of each monitor, providing a clear magnified view on all screens.
