A lot of times when you are browsing different Facebook profiles, you want to zoom a picture but the problem is that it takes sometime as clicking on the picture actually opens up the Facebook Photo Album. Now this problem has been solved by a few small extensions currently available for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome users. The extension is very simple to install and it can save you a lot of time as well. No more you need to open the whole picture album to view the full size picture. All you have to do is just bring your mouse pointer over the picture and it will zoom it for you.
Since i am the user of Mozilla Firefox, i have installed it for me on my Firefox. However, Google version was also tested by me and it works fine so you can try it as well. Here is the FAQ as provided on the Google Chrome Extension website:
Q: How do I toggle FBPZ on and off?
A: Easy! When FBPZ loads up an icon will appear in the bottom right of Facebook next to your chat bar (see screenshot). Clicking on this icon will toggle FBPZ’s functionality. Additionally, an even faster key shortcut exists! Simply pressing the CTRL + SHIFT + Z keys will also toggle its functionality.Q: Your extension is awesome! You totally have to make it work with other websites!
A: Thanks! That’s not really a question but you should be happy to discover that I am developing a more powerful Photo Zoom that will support sites like Google Images, Flickr, Amazon and many more. Not every site will work, but if you have a website in mind that you think could be benefit from Photo Zoom, feel free to contact me via http://www.regisgaughan.com/contact.html and I’ll see if it can be incorporated.
The Google Chrome version has been installed by approx 250,000 users till date while the Mozilla Firefox version has approx 20,000 downloads. Both got excellent feedback by its users as you can see on the official download sites, whose links are given below.

Can you recommend something for our website where you can zoom in on images with a magnifying glass? Or have you created something like the PhotoZoom for Facebook but for images on websites in general? People complain all the time saying the images are too small when viewing their proofs. By the way, the photozoom for facebook is really cool.
I look forward to your input!
