Super Pinch & Zoom by GreatsHub gives Shopify shoppers a closer look with mobile pinch-to-zoom, desktop magnification, and a full screen product gallery. You can also use the app to build shoppable galleries, show before-and-after comparisons, and keep Add to Cart within reach as shoppers browse. Super Pinch & Zoom on the Shopify App Store
Give shoppers a closer look on mobile and desktop
On mobile, shoppers can pinch to zoom into the product image. This is especially useful for details that are easy to miss in a standard gallery, such as the weave of a sweater, the setting of a gemstone, or the grain on a wooden tabletop.
On desktop, shoppers can explore product details using hover magnification and advanced zoom modes. A hover lens suits quick inspections, while popup and full screen views give shoppers more room to examine the product. Progressive desktop zoom is also available on supported plans. Explore the zoom modes
Start with a product where details matter. For a leather bag, use a full product photo, a close-up of the stitching, a shot of the hardware, and an interior view. Zoom makes each of those photos easier to inspect, and the different angles answer different buying questions.
Bring product photos, variant images, and videos into one viewer
The Smart Lightbox opens product media in a larger, responsive viewer. Thumbnails help shoppers move between angles, and supported plans let you include product videos and variant images. A clothing store can show how a dress moves in a short video, then give shoppers a closer look at the fabric and the color they’re considering. Explore the Smart Lightbox and media options
Merchants can customize controls, colors, thumbnail layouts, icon placement, captions, borders, and the zoom badge. Product targeting and manual media selection give you control over where the viewer appears and which media it includes. The app also offers image protection options and live previews for checking your setup. View customization and plan options
Turn lifestyle photos into shoppable galleries
A styled living room might inspire a shopper to buy the lamp, rug, or side table. With shoppable image tags, you can connect those items to their product pages directly from the photo. The same approach works for outfit look books, jewelry collections, and seasonal gift guides.
Choose a layout that suits the content. A grid makes a collection easy to scan. A carousel or slider works well when you want to show a short series of images in a smaller space. A masonry gallery accommodates images with different proportions, and a Shop the Look layout makes sense when the products are styled together. Gallery options also include captions and social sharing. See gallery layouts and shoppable features
Show what changes with a before-and-after slider
Some product differences are easier to see side by side. The Before/After Slider lets shoppers drag across two images to compare them. A home decor store could show the same room before and after adding a rug. A furniture brand could compare two finishes photographed from the same angle. Keep the crop and lighting consistent so the product difference is easy to see. Explore the Before/After Slider
Keep Add to Cart visible as shoppers scroll
A shopper may scroll through photos, read the product specifications, and check the sizing guide before deciding to buy. Sticky Cart keeps the product and Add to Cart action within reach during that journey. Preview it on a phone alongside any chat bubble or other floating controls so each element has enough room. See Sticky Cart in the Shopify listing
Use analytics to see which media shoppers explore
Where available on your plan, Zoom & Gallery Analytics helps you see how shoppers interact with product media. Use those signals to decide which photos to improve or add. For example, if shoppers often zoom in on a shoe’s side profile, test a dedicated close-up of the stitching or materials. Check current feature availability
