Overview

Hover over any image to instantly preview it full-size — clean, fast, and works on all websites.
Hover Zoom & Preview lets you instantly view full-resolution images and videos without clicking, opening new tabs, or leaving the page you're on.

Simply move your cursor over any image and a crisp, high-quality preview appears right away. Move your cursor away and it disappears — completely non-intrusive.

✅ KEY FEATURES

• Instant full-size image preview on hover
• Video preview support (MP4)
• Works on all major websites — social media, blogs, news sites, forums, and more
• Automatically picks the highest-resolution version from srcset
• Special support for Twitter/X images (upgrades to 4096×4096 resolution)
• Skips tiny icons and avatars (under 80×80 px) to avoid clutter
• Smooth fade-in/fade-out animation
• Press ESC to dismiss any preview at any time
• Enable or disable the extension with one click from the popup
• Lightweight — no background processes, no data collection, no tracking

🚫 WHAT WE DON'T DO

• We do NOT collect any personal data
• We do NOT send data to external servers
• We do NOT inject ads or modify page content beyond showing previews
• We do NOT work on YouTube (to avoid interfering with video playback)

⚡ PERFORMANCE

The extension is designed to be extremely lightweight. It uses a single content script that attaches passive hover listeners and cleans up automatically. No memory leaks, no heavy background workers.

🛠 HOW TO USE

1. Install the extension
2. Visit any website with images
3. Hover your mouse over an image
4. The full-size preview appears instantly
5. Move your mouse away to dismiss — or press ESC

Use the extension popup (toolbar icon) to enable or disable Hover Zoom & Preview at any time.
