# Zoom functionality with ctrl+ ctrl- ctrl 0

 * I like the gallery block lightbox plugin because it lets readers see the images
   full screen.
 * I’ve just realised that there’s a big lack of functionality though when I post
   images which are big and contain lots of small text.
 * Users want to zoom in on the image – it works on mobile with gestures, but on
   desktops, I assumed you should be able to using CTRL + but it stops once the 
   picture fills the screen, so I can’t zoom in further.
 * For example, if you look on the linked webpage under the “More Resources” subtitle,
   there’s a gallery with the lightbox. This image:
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/ecocounts.community/wp-content/uploads/climate-inequity.
   jpeg?ssl=1)
 * On my desktop screen, the image in the lightbox does not fill the entire screen.
   When I use CTRL + then it enlarges, but only until it fits the screen, and then
   no more.
 * So you can see I have a problem with another image in the same lightbox:
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/ecocounts.community/wp-content/uploads/cognitive-bias.jpg?
   ssl=1)
 * It already fills the screen, so using CTRL + does nothing, yet if you open it
   in a new tab i.e. not in a lightbox, then CTRL + allows you to zoom right in 
   and read the small print.
 * So only limited zoom ability, or at least the way I configured it. Should it 
   be possible?

 * Hi [@ahardy42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahardy42/),
 * Using CTRL + the browser changes the size of the whole website. I think it’s 
   different from the “Pinch-to-zoom“ on mobile.
 * The plugin just uses baguetteBox.js: [https://github.com/feimosi/baguetteBox.js](https://github.com/feimosi/baguetteBox.js)
   and there is no such functionality.
 * With the help of JavaScript, you could probably add this feature yourself: [https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-zoom-an-image-on-scroll-using-javascript/](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-zoom-an-image-on-scroll-using-javascript/)
