About
Use your camera to magnify small text, see object details, or zoom in on faraway text like street signs or restaurant menus behind a service counter. Search for words before or after you take a picture to find what you need on a menu, a departure board, or anything containing text. Apply visual effects to make low contrast text more visible. In low light environments brightness is automatically adjusted. You can also take photos and zoom in as much as you need. Get started: 1. Download Magnifier from the Play Store. 2. (Optional) Set up Magnifier to easily open via Quick tap: a. Open your phone's Settings app. b. Go to System > Gestures > Quick tap. c. Turn on Use Quick tap. d. Choose open app. Next to "Open app," tap Settings. Then select Magnifier. e. To open Magnifier, tap twice on the back of your phone. Magnifier requires Pixel 5 or later model.

This app's find word feature is something I've always wanted to do with my phone's camera. 100 out of 10 stars!

update: they added the ability to magnify pics! yay! og:this app is great for viewing stuff live but I wish I could use its zoom and filter features on photos I took with the normal camera app. like if I took a picture quickly of the menu at a restaurant. having to start with this app to use it on an image is a limitation for sure, but the photos app doesn't have the same nice zoom and filter options this has. let us open existing images with Magnifier and we'll get the best of both worlds :-)

Works better than any magnifying glass Ive ever seen. I do wish the adjustable brightness of the flashlight was available in the status bar menu of my pixel 9 pro but that isn't this apps fault that they showed me a better flashlight but only in app and not system set. Made by Google, well I guess it is their fault!

Awesome, thoughtfully designed app. Can we please get a full-screen toggle to temporarily remove all controls? Thanks for listening to our feedback.

A bit more image stability...?

With the Magnifier app, at zoom=1, at manual lens selection, at fixed shooting distance of about 143 mm: The short side of display covers 21 mm at UW lens, and 19 mm at W lens! So, almost the same! With the stock camera, in the same setup these are, respectively, 291 mm 137 mm. Also, on the Magnifier app, at W lens, at the same setup as above, that is physically sturdy, the short side of the image is tottering about 0.3 mm at about 0.5 sec frequency. Very useful app still. /GP10XL

It is hard to focus.l It magnifies stuff, but it is often blurry.

Works great for what I need it for.
