OneLoupe: Simple, small, and portable desktop zooming solution


It happens to all of us. As we get older, we find it a bit harder to read the text on our computer screens, or make out fine details on digital images. OneLoupe can help. This tiny Windows utility (like, 22kb tiny), hangs out in your system tray until you need to zoom in on an area of your desktop. Then you just click the OneLoupe icon, move your mouse to the portion of the screen you want to zoom in on, and you too can see a highly pixelated version of any web page, picture, or other media.

The zoom window is resizeable. All you have to do is hit the up, down, right, or left arrow keys on your keyboard to stretch or shrink the window. And you can zoom in and out by hitting the plus or minus buttons or scrolling your mousewheel.

Want to save a zoomed image to your clipboard? Just hit B to save a bitmap and you can paste your image into any program.
