thank you!!!

it does not work with image occlusion enhanced! Any idea?

[@mokhtarbenzina5923]

Hi, I don't know if you still need this but this code works with image occlusion enhanced : img {width: auto;height: auto; max-width: none; max-height: none;}

[@mokhtarbenzina5923]

if you're wondering where to past that code, go to an image occclusion card => Click en E (for edits) => Click on Cards => Click on Styling and past that code in the bottom

The CSS hack to remove the image width/height limitations is amazing. One thing I'll add is that for images that are very large, doing this will make the image so zoomed in that you can't see it since you've removed all the limitations. I found it more suitable to keep the width limitation but remove the height limitation as follows: img { max-width: 100%; max-height: none; } Of course this means that you will no longer be able to zoom in further than the screen width permits, but it solves the problem of big images going off the page by default.

That's a great point, Tony. Thanks for sharing!

[@ahmadalsalman9567]

Thank you very much. You have done exactly what I was trying to do. Salute!

Quick update: It looks like the Zooming add-on is no longer available, unfortunately. The Zoom add-on should still work, however. Edit: A re-upload of the Zooming add-on is available here now → ankiweb.net/shared/info/489406148. There's also a zoom add-on for Anki 2.1, if you've already switched over: ankiweb.net/shared/info/1846592880

[@alessandrop.2428]

Do you know why ankitest (same author) deleted all of his addons from ankiweb?

[@alessandrop.2428]

Any chance to get them back?

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Alessandro, we talked on Reddit recently, but just in case anyone else is wondering: Dmitry (the author of these add-ons) is working on refactoring them and decided to take them down in the meanwhile. They should hopefully be back up soon.

@@Glutanimate Currently (August 2022), there are no working zoom add ons for the latest version, right? Sad that Anki doesn't have zoom saving built-in, which seems easy to add considering that it already has the zoom in and out menu items

You saved my life, thank you!

IS THERE ANY CODE FOR IPAD LIKE IN MOBILE!!!!!

[@alipiofernandes1]

The zooming link is not working, any information?

[@Glutanimate]

yeah, sadly it looks like the author has deleted all of their add-ons from AnkiWeb. From what I understand he is planning to re-release them as a bundle sometime over the next few months. So I guess it might be worth checking back after some time. I'll try to update the video description once I have a new link.

[@clee888]

can not find zooming anywhere?

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Binh, yeah, sadly it looks like the author has deleted all of their add-ons from AnkiWeb. From what I understand he is planning to re-release them as a bundle sometime over the next few months.

[@mohammadelsharr1423]

Hello, 'zooming is not available anymore.. thanks in advance

[@Glutanimate]

Hey Mohammad, yeah, sadly it looks like the author has removed it from AnkiWeb. You should still be able to use the regular Zoom add-on, however.

[@jayswish857]

URGENT: Someone please help. My Anki won't let me zoom out. Not with ctrl - or even with crtl mouse scroll. Other than re-install anki is there anything I can do?

[@mskyba]

What's urgent about that? Reinstalling Anki, which it sounds like you haven't tried, only takes ~5 minutes, does it not?
