Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Essentia Image Zoom helps visitors inspect images in a focused fullscreen viewer.

For stores, portfolios, product pages, and visual landing pages, this gives visitors a clearer way to examine image details.

The Elementor widget gives you a configurable click-to-zoom experience with smooth pan, rotate, flip, minimap, zoom badge, lazy loading, and optional right-click deterrence.

When WooCommerce integration is one-click enabled, the same viewer can auto-replace the product-gallery zoom experience and can also open product-description images.

Zoom Analytics adds image viewing reports so site owners can see how often images are zoomed and how long visitors spend viewing them. For WooCommerce stores, these signals can show which product visuals attract attention and support better merchandising, image selection, and conversion-rate optimization decisions.

Free features

  • Image zoom widget for Elementor: Add a click-to-open image, choose its preview size, adjust its size and alignment, and style the image, viewer background, close button, minimap, and zoom percentage.
  • WooCommerce product image support: Use the same viewer for product gallery images and images in the product description, including the Description tab. Visitors can move through a gallery with previous and next buttons.
  • Three fullscreen viewing modes: Keep the site header visible, hide the site header, or use the browser’s fullscreen mode.
  • Simple zoom and movement controls: Visitors can zoom with the mouse wheel or a double-click, move the image by dragging with a mouse or finger, and press Escape to close. Optional keyboard shortcuts rotate and flip the image.
  • Minimap and zoom percentage: Show visitors which part of a zoomed image they are viewing and the current zoom level. You can change where these controls appear, when they appear, their size, and their style.
  • Faster loading for Elementor images: Optionally show a smaller preview on the page and load the full-resolution image only when the viewer opens.
  • Optional right-click blocking: Disable the right-click menu and show a custom message on Elementor or WooCommerce images. For Elementor Media Library images, turning this on also uses temporary image links.
  • Consent-based analytics stored on your site: Zoom activity is saved in your WordPress database and is not recorded until the visitor agrees. You can choose whether to include anonymous visitors, set the reporting time zone, and set the minimum and maximum viewing times that should count.
  • Easy-to-read totals and charts: See how many images and viewers were tracked, how often images were opened, and how long they were viewed. Charts can group zooms, total viewing time, and average viewing time by hour, day, or month.
  • Image-by-image report: Search images, filter them by page type, sort their viewing results, and see which viewers interacted with each image. Select images to update the charts, pause or resume tracking, reset data, or export summary and hourly CSV files.
  • Viewer-by-viewer report: Search logged-in users and consented guests, filter registered users by role, sort their viewing results, and see which images each viewer opened.

Pro features:

The separate Professional product adds:

  • Marketing tool: Turn consented zoom-interest data into practical on-site recommendation and follow-up workflows.
  • Recommendation tool: Show personalized related-page carousels informed by each visitor’s zoom activity and image similarity, with configurable signals, page-type filters, layout controls, previews, and shortcode placement.
  • Access to Beta tool: Create reusable email templates and scheduled follow-ups for registered users, with personalized recommendation items based on their recorded image interests and a built-in preview workflow.
