Review Summary

PhotoShow is praised for its smooth performance, high-quality image enlargements, and effective replacement of popular zoom extensions. Users appreciate the developer's responsiveness and customization options. However, common issues include lack of mouse wheel navigation within image galleries, limited shortcut customization leading to conflicts, inconsistent behavior across different websites, and missing user-friendly features like drag-to-save and per-site trigger controls. Despite these drawbacks, it is considered one of the best options available for image zooming in Chrome as of 2025.

Pros

  • Works smoothly and better than other similar extensions on many sites like Twitter and Instagram.
  • Displays images in original or close to original size and resolution, providing high-quality enlargement.
  • Highly customizable with multiple viewing modes and settings.
  • Developer is responsive and actively improves the extension based on user feedback.
  • Effective replacement for other popular but now incompatible extensions like Imagus and Hoverzoom+.

Cons

  • Lacks some desired features like scrolling through image galleries using mouse wheel, especially on sites like Artstation and Pixiv.
  • Some shortcut keys, such as Alt + C for copying high-resolution images, do not function properly or lack customization options, causing conflicts with other extensions.
  • The triggering mode cannot be customized per website, leading to inconsistent user experiences and conflicts with other shortcuts (e.g., Alt hover triggering issues).
  • Issues on certain websites, such as inability to zoom images on 500px and limited zoom on old-style Reddit thumbnails.
  • Missing intuitive features like zooming with mouse wheel, dragging enlarged images for saving, and better blacklist management for sites where the extension should not activate.
