jQuery image zoom plugins are very useful whenever you want to give visitors the opportunity to zoom in on details of images like artwork and photographs that you want to showcase or of images of products you want to sell. This without compromising the layout of your website with large images that would otherwise take up too much space.
When users zoom in on selected regions of an image most plugins use high resolution versions of images to maximize image detail and avoid pixelation. A magnifying glass often appears over the image that follows the cursor around enabling the image zoom effect only when visitors hover the mouse on an image. Another way to navigate is to use the mouse wheel to zoom-in or out. A very user-friendly solution as opposed to using a lightbox pop-up box which works great in many cases but breaks the even flow of natural browsing.
