Easy to implement, works great, and is very fast and smooth to use on PC or mobile. There are some limitations, for example I haven’t been able to get it to work responsively. I can set width=”” and the width will adjust according to window size but I haven’t been able to do the same for the height yet. Either way, it’s free and works as expected!

It is simply a wonderful and extremely useful plugin. By adding a few lines of code to a post you can have zoomable images. My website features many historic photographs and the ability to zoom in and see details is simply incredible. Keep up the good work!

Pretty easy plugin, much easier than pasting javascript into my posts. Thanks a lot, works like a charm, keep up the good work!

I searched for quite a while to find a ‘zoom’ plugin that did what I wanted with little fuss, and tried various plugins before settling on this one. I am impressed by how quickly this loads on my page, and how smooth the zooming and navigation are. I had a small issue, and Alexey the plugin developer issued a fix within a few days – good work. 🙂 I just needed a little css for my theme, with this simple shortcode (if it helps anyone) – [gallery ids="331,328" openseadragon="true" width="1076"] Use WP editor to add a gallery as normal, then edit the shortcode to add in the openseadragon parameters.
