vue-magnifier

This is a Vue 3 adaptation of react-magnifier, which is the original version. Someone else made a Svelte version, called svelte-magnifier as well.

Vue image zoom component

• Simple and customizable
• Supports touch screens
• Allows different files for large image and magnifying glass (e.g. thumbnail and high-resolution image)
