Zoomy

Zoomy – to Create Magnification

Zoomy enables to add zoom function to an image. The zoom performs just like a screen magnifier and the area around the mouse pointer enlarges to give a magnified view. You require two versions of an image, medium and larger for zoom display.  Zoomy’s installation is quite simple. You only need to include an address of the zoom image and original image, and ask the Zoomy to show them while scaling. The entire process completes in quick, small steps.

Fancybox

When it comes to displaying image collection, I’m not habitual to use jQuery plugins, because the serious disadvantage of too large JavaScript files have an impact on the loading speed and performance of a web page. BUT, The Fancybox is the only exception, because you get great looks and are not just able to zoom images, but it displays Ajax, inline content, Iframe and cool videos. So, real benefits!

Zoomooz – for Making any Web Element Zoom

Zoomooz is a dead simple plugin to create zoom effects on any item on web. Zoomooz is a wonderful demonstration of a zoomable user interface using jQuery, which employs powerful little js library to give zoom and movement effects. You will surely love the new look of your website, which will be pretty charming and much simple.

Zoomooz gives a quick zoom with a mouse click through class “zoomTarget”, which is restored by the click on the background. To improve the user interface, you can make it to regain the earlier scroll state by zooming out. Moreover, you can enhance it to support for 3d transitions as well as to hide stuff, other than the selected item during transformation.
