How to add Image Magnifier to a Magento store

Embed Image Magnifier on Magento

01

Create a Image Magnifier extension for Magento on Common Ninja

First, create a Magento Image Magnifier extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Image Magnifier and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Image Magnifier extension

When you're done creating the Image Magnifier extension, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Image Magnifier Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Image Magnifier extension to your Magento store, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the extension embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Magento store.

04

Paste the code to your Magento website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Magento store editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Magento’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Image Magnifier Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Image Magnifier extension on your Magento store.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Image Magnifier extension on your Magento extension. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Magento store’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Image Magnifier extension to your Magento store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Magento store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Image Magnifier widget when small details in your visuals matter for visitors decisions. Instead of forcing users to open separate files or guess from low resolution thumbnails, the magnifier lets them zoom into specific areas while staying on the same page. This is valuable for product textures, technical diagrams, artwork, maps, and documentation screenshots. People can inspect fine print, craftsmanship, and interface elements closely, which builds confidence that they understand what they are buying or learning. It also supports accessibility needs for users who benefit from larger views. Overall, the magnifier turns ordinary images into interactive, information rich elements that better support careful evaluation.
