About this test
This tool opens your rear camera and enlarges what it sees, turning the phone into a quick magnifying glass for small print, labels, serial numbers or tiny components. When the camera supports a native zoom it uses that for a sharper image, otherwise it scales the preview so it still magnifies on any device.
The image is shown live and is never captured or uploaded. For the clearest view, wipe the lens, hold the phone steady and make sure the object is well lit.
Privacy: this tool runs entirely in your browser. No image, audio or device data is recorded or sent to any server.
Frequently asked questions
Is the magnifier as good as a real magnifying glass?
For reading small text and inspecting objects it works well, especially on phones with a good camera. Optical magnifiers can still resolve finer detail, but the phone is always in your pocket.
Does it save any photos?
No. It only shows a live preview from the camera. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
