How to Zoom on Google Photos on PC or Mac

This How.com.vn teaches you how to zoom in on a photo in Google Photos on Windows or macOS.

Steps

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Open https://photos.google.com in...
    Open https://photos.google.com in a web browser. If you’re not signed in, click Go to Google Photos to do so now.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Click the photo you want to zoom.
    This opens the photo in full screen mode.
    • To find the photo, scroll down and select it from the main page, or search for it using the Search bar at the top of the screen.
    • You can search for photos by content. For example, if you’re looking for a photo of a tabby cat, you can search for "cat," "tabby," "stripes," "animal," etc.
  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Click the magnifying glass with a plus (+) to zoom in.
    It’s at the top-right corner of the screen. This zooms in on the photo. As long as the photo is zoomed in, there’ll be a smaller version of the photo with a slider at the top-right corner of the screen.
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Use the slider to adjust the zoom level.
    Drag the slider (beneath the smaller version of the photo) left to zoom out, or right to zoom in.
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 Drag the zoomed photo around to view it in its entirety.
    This lets you see the parts of the photo that aren’t currently on the screen.
  6. How.com.vn English: Step 6 Click the magnifying glass with a minus (-) sign to zoom out.
    This returns the photo to its original size.

    You can't use the zooming feature to save a new zoomed photo, but you can crop it.
