The best zoom tool in the world? Probably.
For some reason there is a real shortage of decent image zoom tools. Lots of free half-baked ones but not many which are the real deal. This tool ticks all the boxes. Extremely easy to setup and add to images. Very intuitive. Well worth the 29 quid. I had a question which was answered by support within an hour. All in all - 10/10.

Lightning Fast Support!
I had a question about MagicZoom which I didn't think would be possible, but turned out it was! Support replied to me super quickly, which as a developer was extremely useful as we had clients waiting. Really great service and amazing product!

Peter

Amazing slider, easy to implement
This awesome zoom script took our sluggish looking image previews to the next level, it now allows our customers to see what they are buying in great detail. Using it in combination with MagicScroll for an amazing result!

Riekelt Brands, otakusquare.com

Stellar support!
Incredibly powerful and easy to use with the added bonus of stellar support!

5 Reasons why you need jQuery/JavaScript Image Zoom on your website

Product images are absolutely vital for every E-Commerce business.

  1. Increase conversions. Higher conversion means you'll get more sales with the same amount of traffic.
  2. Don't compromise design. Magic Zoom can fit into any layout seamlessly. Inner zoom is perfect for mobile-first design and side-zoom is great for desktop.
  3. Video support. Videos affect buying decisions heavily. Combine them with crispy high-resolution zooming images and you have yourself a deal breaker.
  4. Add 360 degree spins. With Magic Zoom and Magic 360 you can easily add 360 degree spinning images to your product galleries. A must-have for fashion and luxury products.
  5. It's what people want. 61% of respondents said that image zoom is the most important feature in E-Commerce. Source

What's under the hood?

Magic Zoom was developed in Vanilla JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3 - the best technology available today for image zooming on the web. It's not dependent on any external libraries like jQuery or Zepto, and doesn't require additional frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation (but is perfectly compatible with them). Magic Zoom has a powerful API which you can use to your advantage with any tech stack.

Support that is actually helpful

Your success is our success. Our friendly support team will tackle any issue you might encounter. You get 30 minutes of free tech support with your purchase regardless of the license chosen. If Magic Zoom is incompatible with your setup - we'll do our best to help you integrate it for free. And if you're not satisfied with Magic Zoom for whatever reason, we offer a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee.

Use Magic Zoom with other Magic Toolbox tools for maximum impact

Magic Zoom works with all Magic Toolbox products. You can zoom images in a slideshow, combine zoom gallery with 360 degree views and videos, scroll product thumbnails and add a lightbox effect on-click in addition to the on-hover zoom. Or you can get the upgraded version called Magic Zoom Plus with a gorgeous full-screen zoom mode.

Image Zoom that's actually easy to integrate

We try our best to make Magic Zoom the most good looking and fast JavaScript Image zoom on the market. We understand that without ease of use this advantage is mitigated. That's why Magic Zoom is very user friendly, you can install it in minutes without coding skills. Plugins and modules are available for all popular (and not so popular E-Commerce platforms and Content Management Systems). If you are a developer, you can utilize Magic Zoom's powerful API to do anything. Use it with jQuery, Zepto or any JS library of your choice. If you're using a framework like Bootstrap, Foundation, Material Design etc. you can rest assured Magic Zoom's class names won't conflict with them.
