Facebook Photo Zoom is an extension for the Google Chrome web browser that makes it a lot easier to view a larger version of a photo posted on Facebook without having to click through to the photo album page first.
Photo zoom is immediately active after installing the add-on. Hovering the mouse over any photo on Facebook will display a larger version – if available – next to it on the same page.
It is still possible to click through to visit the linked page on Facebook or view an entire photo album.
The Chrome extension can be temporarily disabled by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-Z. The same shortcut will also enable the extension again.
Facebook Photo Zoom for Google Chrome can display a larger version of any image displayed on Facebook including wall photos, likes, fan photos, photo albums and Faceboook profile photos.
The extension is one of the most popular Google Chrome extensions and can be directly downloaded from the Chrome extension repository.
Firefox users can install Facebook PhotoZoom which provides access to a similar zooming option for Firefox users. Moving the mouse over a photo on Facebook will display a larger version of the image in a tooltip.
Update: The add-on has been discontinued and is no longer available. There is a different add-on available called Facebook Zoom Picture which works very similar.
