# A closer look at blog images

This article was prepared with AI assistance and reviewed by a person before publication.

Screenshots often contain details that are hard to read at an article's normal
width. Blog images now open in a viewer on the page, with controls to zoom in,
zoom out, fit the image to the screen, or inspect it at actual size.

Scroll to move around an enlarged image. On a desktop, you can also drag it.
The keyboard shortcuts are `+` and `-` for zoom and `0` to fit. Close the
viewer with its Close button, Escape, or a click outside it. Your place in the
article stays the same, and keyboard focus returns to the image link.

The comparison in our [image-delivery study](/blog/sharp-uploads-blurry-banners)
opens whichever source and crop you selected. Its existing comparison controls
still work in the article.

The viewer uses the browser's native dialog and the site's existing theme.
It adds no image-viewer dependency or analytics calls. Figure links remain
usable without JavaScript and open their image in the current tab.
