Key features

Handy image enlarger

Great images are an essential part of any product page and your competitors know that. However, you can overtake them if they stick with Joomla's inbuilt and dull image zoom. Use Magic Thumb on your store to expand images to full screen. Elegant and refined, to enhance your images, it comes with a myriad of transition effects and styles.

Optimised to the max

Magic Thumb uses the most popular image effects together: expand and fade. Tweak the speed, trigger (enlarge on click or hover), text links, captions and buttons, to help your site feel slick. There are millions of possible settings combinations! Even experiment with CSS, for superfine-tuning.
Optimised to the max

Optimise speed & SEO

We have spent 10 years crafting Magic Thumb into what you see today. As you see - we don't rest on our laurels. It works so fast by reason it uses pure JavaScript, without jQuery or any other framework. Also, this is partly why it looks perfect on all devices and browsers. With image caching and lazy loading, try and see how fast it is on your site.
