ImageFull

Minimal Obsidian plugin that opens embedded images in a clean fullscreen viewer with gesture-based zoom and pan. No settings, no toolbar — just the image.

Features

• Double-click (or double-tap on touch) an embedded image → fullscreen overlay
• Pinch (touch or trackpad) → zoom up to 10×
• Two-finger swipe / trackpad swipe → shift the visible image section
• Mouse drag when zoomed → pan
• Double-click overlay → close
• Keyboard: Esc closes · 0 resets the zoom
• Works in reading view and live preview, desktop and mobile

Installation

From the community directory (once approved)

Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search "ImageFull" → Install → Enable.

Manual

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, styles.css from the latest release.
2. Place them in <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/imagefull/.
3. Settings → Community plugins → enable ImageFull.

Usage

Double-click any embedded image in a note (works in both reading and live-preview modes). The image opens centered on a dimmed overlay. Use pinch or two-finger swipe to zoom and pan. Double-click anywhere on the overlay to close.

Why a separate plugin?

Obsidian's built-in image preview opens in a side pane and doesn't offer a clean fullscreen flow with pinch zoom. ImageFull keeps the interaction minimal — one gesture to open, one to close, and standard pinch/pan in between.

Development

No build step. The plugin is a single main.js plus styles.css. Edit directly and reload the plugin in Obsidian.

Run the community-submission linter locally:
