This wikiHow teaches you how to zoom in and out in Google Photos by pinching your fingers out or inward.

1. Open Google Photos. It’s the multicolored pinwheel icon labeled “Photos.” You’ll typically find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.

2. Tap the image you want to see larger. The full image will now appear.

3. Press your thumb and a finger together on the screen and pull them apart. Think of this motion as the opposite of a pinch. This enlarges an area of the image.

   • Repeat the reverse-pinch gesture to zoom in further.
   • While the image is zoomed-in, you can move it around by dragging it with one finger.

4. Pinch two fingers together to zoom out. This zooms out so you can see more of the image. Continue pinching until the image returns to its normal size.

   This wikiHow teaches you how to zoom in on a photo in Google Photos on Windows or macOS.

   1. Click the photo you want to zoom. This opens the photo in full screen mode.

      • To find the photo, scroll down and select it from the main page, or search for it using the Search bar at the top of the screen.
      • You can search for photos by content. For example, if you’re looking for a photo of a tabby cat, you can search for "cat," "tabby," "stripes," "animal," etc.

   2. Click the magnifying glass with a minus (-) sign to zoom out. This returns the photo to its original size.

      , you must have noticed some change in the images section. This change has been made by Google recently, and it has changed how the image search works.

                                     

      Google has made the decision to remove the ‘View Image’ button after signing an agreement with Getty, which is an American Stock Photo Agency.

      Now, you will not ‘View Image’ in the Google search results. But, of course, this doesn’t mean that you will not be able to download your favorite images at all. However, many Google users have made their complaints regarding this in the Google web search help forums.

      People are not satisfied with this change as previously, the ‘View Image’ button allowed them to expand images and save them. Unfortunately, Google image search won’t enlarge, which means that now if images are taking too much time to load or don’t show at all, then you will have to wait. You can also start an image search to see if the issue has been solved or not.

                                             

      Moreover, the custom search results will differ from those shown by Google images even though you may have configured your search engine to search the web completely.

      This was a problem acknowledged by Google. When you search for images, there was a time when the images will not zoom to full size in the preview. This issue is resolved and confirmed by Google.

      1. Can you search for the content of the image.

      2. How to build your image search engine.

      Why can't I zoom in on some photos?

      Photos are only so large when they're taken and thus have a defined resolution— the amount of pixels that makes up the photo— to display. If that resolution is too small (low resolution), the picture itself may already be at full size, and it's not possible to zoom in to view a larger size.
